Yes, that's right: Ted Kennedy, who underwent brain surgery today to remove a tumor from his brain, is now out of surgery and doing well.  His doctors say that the surgery was successful at removing a large portion of the tumor and are predicting that he will have no neurological damage from the surgery.  Although Kennedy isn't out of the woods yet--it is impossible to fully remove a glioma with surgery alone, and he'll be starting chemo soon--there certainly seems to be a cause for optimism!

As for the good Senator himself, he was in high spirits: "I feel like a million bucks. I think I'll do that again tomorrow."

I know this is a short diary, but I figured that after all the gloomy eulogies for Kennedy when the news about his cancer broke, people would appreciate the update and the reminder that the "liberal lion" ain't dead yet!  

Get well soon, Sen. Kennedy.
