First and foremost, I am BEYOND overwhelmed at the Pea love and prayers. I feel so inadequate saying thank you. Truly. I am still in shock I think of the whole thing. I don't believe I have even processed that it happened, simply because it happened so fast. I am basically a week post-op and three weeks from finding out I had a brain tumor. Just unbelievable. So many "right" things happened in these last three weeks that go beyond GodWinks. I have expressed doubt about healthcare here but while there are some things that could be better here, there are some incredible doctors and medical staff here. I am just in love with my neurosurgeon (who loves to play the saxophone) because he is the kindest, most down to earth person with the most AMAZING ability to operate on the brain. He diagnosed me immediately and helped us to move through the process of pre-surgery preparations quickly. The surgery took 4.5 hours (he expected it to be more like 6 to 7 hours). He removed a lemon size meningioma from the base of my skull. While I did have more bleeding than expected, he did a brilliant job of containing and fixing that. I still have a small part of the tumor that he left because of vascular involvement, but he feels confident that through Gamma Knife radiation, the rest can be eradicated. The pathology has already come back that it was benign, Grade 1 and non-cancerous. I literally have no pain other than the 3 inch scar and the 15 stitches. I take some Tylenol at night to help me sleep a bit more sound, but the pain of that is getting better each day. The hardest part is making my self rest and not overdo it. But I AM listening to my body and resting AND letting other people do things. I still feel like I am complete outside of myself watching all this happen to someone else. The emotions that I see friends and family experience are difficult for me to process because it just doesn't seem real. It's a very odd feeling. My children and husband are doing well...but I have watched them process this each in their own way. Again, it's a very odd feeling. All I can say is that the early morning sun on my face with my fluffy pup at my feet is the most precious and valuable feeling. Without doubt, it was all of the prayer and thoughts that lifted me up in the moments that I could not. It is all the prayer and love that keep me wrapped in warmth that help me get stronger each day. From the bottom of my heart...I appreciate each and every one of you! Love, allipeas Great news!!!! Take care of yourself!!!
