post op pic at 2.5 months
« on: June 16, 2009, 05:30:56 pm »

this was taken today June 16-09 at my grandson's SK graduation....Not that I suffered from facial paralysis, but did from facial weakness...I am still somewhat having balance issues and basically 24/7 dizziness which varies from mild to 'I have to sit down"...My neurosurgeon said to see him in Oct...I've been seein my GP and oh my stars, the ENT and Neurosurgeon has sent her nothing about anything except for a transcript of the surgery...nothing on follow ups.  But after 2.5 months, I'm happy alive and doing well.

Both you and your grandson are lookin' good!  :)  Thanks for sharing the photo with us.  I just hope your dizziness will abate, soon.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Looking real good and happy too :)
Amazing how we all cope with the side effects of brain surgery, huh?
We're alive and well!
People can't tell how we're feeling on the inside and that can get frustrating for sure.
Just rest when you have to, and if it's a lot, oh well (that's the way I am anyway ;) )
Now I have an excuse for taking my "rests."
