Today is Good

Hello all my dear angels. Today is a gorgeous day

outside and I feel good.

Last night my head was really hurting, but much

better today.

Here's a picture from today , not so bad.

Bruising is not too bad.

Thanks for all your support and prayers. God is Great

Fondly,

Back Home

I'm here ..in decent shape.

I'll be resting for a couple days.

I hope I don't get swelling.

Gamma Knife Surgery - from the patient's perspective

Monday AM ..5:45

Rich will be with me.

One last try before invasive Brain Surgery

Thanks for praying it does the job this time.

I am NOT afraid.. but I don't need four more

holes in my head.!! LOL

My Latest MRI

I had an MRI last Monday..I got called yesterday to come consult with my

neurosurgeon.

Doctor said this (we were there for 2 1/2 hours.) Rich was suppose to

work out of town, but he stayed here and took me to see my doctor.

Dr. Kloppenstein

I had 3 options. ( the tumors are the original set) only 3 of the five. I have had

3 different batches of tumors..over the last two years

They have gone thru gamma and whole brain but they ARE growing again.

My Options

Do nothing..just watch them and reduce brain swelling with steriods. Just putting off

further treatment that will be needed.

Treat again with Gamma Knife..could work..may not..but if it doesn't we are

back at option 3.

Brain surgery.. 3 separate areas of the brain..one is somewhat deep..

all will be drilled..cut out ..sewed up..then on to the next tumor

all done in one day.

in the hospital for 5?? days then home with steroids to reduce

brain swelling and hopefully off steroids in a matter of weeks.

I have another MRI tomorrow AM..it's called functional MRI

and Gamma Knife this coming Monday. All the doctors discussed

my case and they all agreed. we can try gamma again..but surgery

may be imminent.

I'll be glad to get this resolved. I'm tired of whining about it.

LOL

I love Owls

Aren't Owls just awesome?? Love them

Another MRI on Tuesday AM..I'm sure it will be the same

Tumors no bigger, no smaller.

I love summer tomatoes!!! YUMMMMMM

I could eat them for lunch and dinner.

We have some growing but not ripe yet.
