Home on the Range

Me, Me, Me and Bumpy McGee...Teresa and I made it home today from Memphis less than a week after brain surgery. It took us two days and on each day we stopped to eat. Teresa felt bad when she hit the bumps and think she might of missed two. The ride was not nearly as hard as I thought it was going to be. It took a lot out of me but I wasn't in any additional pain. Today it was exciting to see the boys. They were happy!!! After a half an hour and a couple of pain pills I began my naps...6 hours today. I was nice to be in my own bed.

I see the next week as a steady dose of sleep, short walks and warm baths. I really feel ahead of schedule and that I will be back in no time. Teresa has the tool ready to remove staples this weekend.

The official tumor type was a Schwannoma (nerve sheath tumor). It is very rare and is likely to reoccur. However, it will be a year down the road before Dr. Robertson will decide if we need more surgery and if we do it will be a radiation called gamma knife a year or two down the road. However, the gamma knife is a lot easier than the real knife he used this time.

Glad to be home.
