Don't call it a comeback

So here it is only 4 days after brain surgery and I am sitting in my hospital room typing on my BLOG. I can not say enough about the care and support I have had...I really do feel lucky.

You never know what you are going to feel like or what the recovery is going to be... before the surgery I read articles about the headaches, the balance issues and the potential side affects. I have really experienced some pains this week. The headaches and the numbness is really the worst. I really have felt better everyday and think I may get out on Sunday and maybe home by Tuesday or Wednesday.

The worst thing is my mouth as it is not likely to return to normal. Dr. Robertson says that I will learn to live with it...It always feels like I am just getting out of the dentist.

Yesterday we were talking about taking the staples out. Dr Robertson was explaining how easy it is and is giving Teresa the tool to do it herself at home...Is this a good idea? I trust Teresa but maybe Russ and Ann Marie can help with this.

Ken left today and now it is just Teresa and I. I am glad Timora and Ken got to see how lucky I am with a great wife like Teresa and her family.

Have a great weekend.

Uno! Tony Klein, you are great. Spending time with you and Teresa today was inspiring...even after having brain surgery, not once did I hear you complain. It's amazing to see what one can overcome with the right attitude...especially an attitude like yours.
