Hey everyone just wanted to let everyone know Tim had his surgery the other day with Dr. Singh. I stopped in to see him yesterday and he is in ICU, he had major problems during surgery. His surgery was being done robotically and they knicked a major blood vessel and had to change to a open procedure.

He then said that he woke up during the surgery and they had to knock him back out, he can only walk very little, Tim is in a lot of pain. His fingers are so swollen that he can barely move them. and he still can not have any liquids because they can't do the leak test.

He is hoping to be able to be moved out of ICU soon but he said that he will be in the hospital until next Tuesday at least.

Take Care,
