wonderful job of getting me good views,great ideaDad!!!kudos to Jer,
SusieadGary D for the locomotion!!! |
Here I am again with a much overdue update. Still dealing with my left side
being offline, As in reduced sensation and motor control which is hard times. I can't walk without supervision as in, I am not a solo bathroom user, thanks mom,dad,;others, you know who you are!-thanks for helping with the magic! ; FlucalledAvastin, I appreciate that.My treasure of a friend--->Sara E was Sara-sitting me while my mom went out to Find things I had a seizure about 3 weeks ago &; got
everyone all riled up and; myself admitted into the hospital for a few
days, at the hospital & my poor brain was smooshed
up from swelling, anywho,The doctors were pretty excited;said I shouldn't have been in such good shape as my brain had a midline shift of 13mm....I later googled this, which is something that never helps, yet is irresistible anyways, & with that sort of brain smoosh I should have been in a stupor or "comatose". hospice even came in, which was pretty
wild, I'm okay though,even with what felt like was a day filled with bad news bears in multiple waves. My neurosurgeon visited with furrowed brow,explaining that the surgical intervention to relieve the situation would most likely leave me in bad shape... my oncologist referred me to hospice. My oncologist took some very deep breaths before telling me information We met with social worker &chaplain...There was question to whether it was still worthwhile for me to be working toward rehab&mobility restoration. My left hand fingers have been silent since the morning of February 7th,10 weeks, I miss that a
bunch,specifically I'm missing music . now, every otherMonday I go in for a chemo "infusion,sounds like a spa treatment..." to
shrink this errant pest of a tumor, I hear that some tumors that do not respond to temodar, which is the chemo pill I usedpreviously DOrespond to this chemo potion Avastintreatment,Avastin that I'm using now /think I've hsd 2 IV "infusions ;so far it doesn't seem to make me feel overly miserable just snoozy))it's not made me feel verycrummyat all; the last time, 30 Rock was on the tv so tume flew bylike a birdBirds eat 4 times their own weight each day,
