I dont know if I should say anything but I feel it is the right thing to do.
Richard was operated on today for throat cancer. His wife called me and said that things are not going as planed. He was in the operateing room for over nine hours and they are not sure if there is not another problem. I am not sure where he is at but I think it would be nice to email his wife and wish her well. If I can find out where he is at I will post it so that you can send cards or what ever is the correct thing to do.

I talked with his wife. The operation took nine hours. They left the breathing tube in because he was not getting enough oxygen. They took it out this morning and he was able to to talk. T
The doctors feel that they got all the cancer. It will be a week before they know for sure. He is doing much better. I will keep you guys informed.

Good newS. He was up and talking and walked to the bathroom. The doctors are only saying good things now. He was told that it will take up to a week to get the all clear and clean sign.

I emailed Richard the day before his operation and he was in good spirits.

He'll be back here in a blink-of-an-eye.

Hi

This is Mark Simon (Richard's son). My mom, sister and I just wanted to thank everyone for their nice comments and good wishes. They were GREAT to read last night at the end of two stressful days.

We were with him for most of the day yesterday and he is doing well and getting better by the minute (we spent a good amount of time breaking down the Mets report card ratings in yesterday's NY Daily News).

I imagine he will be back on these message boards very soon, as I've been told many times how much he likes participating in them.

One point of clarification that we did just want to note (in case any of you speak to him about his illness in the next few days) ... he had thyroid cancer surgery, not throat cancer surgery. The good news is that his voice is basically normal, though he was told to keep talking to a minimum for the next few days.

Thanks to everyone again.
