[gingerbread6]

Hi Bret,

Thanks so much for the update. Thank God, the surgery was successful!! You go Bren, you rocked i!! My prayers have been answered. Rest up, and stay strong.

Bret, please give Bren my regards and well wishes for a speedy recovery. Hope she is home soon. Best wishes to you both for a very Merry Christmas and Happy, Healthy New Year!!!

Bren, I'm allset for my surgery on Monday, the 28th in Boston. I'm following in your footsteps and will wear the "magic scarf" in support for all of us!!! I am upbeat, and strong and can't wait to be on the "postie" side too.

Merry Christmas to all my fellow forum friends, and a Happy, Healthy New Year!!

May God Bless us all,

Gingerbread 6

Hi Everyone,

I hope you will be a ble to read this. My vision is very bad and typing is so difficult. Thank you all for your kind words and it feels great to be a postie! I know there are many more following in postie land and wish you all well. I haven't been on to much as I sure haven't felt good. So much pressure in my head and ear, etc. Most of this is probably normal, but still strange to me. Cannot wait to wash my hair! lol;) The docs said that the tumor was bigger than they had thought and when they removed the final bones the tumor "expanded" right away and was also much deeper in the canal than they thought. Have to go now, but hope to get back here again soon. I cannot see anymore. hugs

Hooray, Bren!!!

Great to hear from you, but I am sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well just yet.  I'll give you the advice that the wise people on this board keep giving me, "be patient because it does get better!"  I think I expected an immediate recovery, but that isn't realistic.  I am feeling a lot better though, and I know you will soon too!

I'm so happy that you are a postie.  The worst is behind us and it is all looking better ahead!!!  Rest and feel better.

So glad to see that at least you are able to be on the computer that is a good sign, you just have to be patient and just take one step at a time do not overdo it !! Hope you have a speedy recovery and a Happy New Year.

Regards,

I think that Lyn put it best! It just takes time and things do get better. All of these nerves and your poor brain need time to heal but it does happen. Just keep telling yourself that. Happy New Year as a postie!

Bren,
Congratulations on a successful surgery, and so nice to see you posting!
Now go rest and get off the computer!
Really, just rest, sleep, walk, drink plenty of fluids, and don't do a lot of bending over. Got one of those grabbie things? I love em. Have on in the pantry for the shelves.
Baby yourself, you have been through a lot.
Happy New Year!

Bren -

great to see you back    The things you are currently experiencing are usually due to being in early recovery; they should improve in time.

Thanks for checking in - and thank your husband for keeping us updated.

Get some rest.

I hope you can accommodate yet another 'welcome home' - from me. 

You're only 9 days post-op and it was major surgery, which always has residual effect in terms of fatigue and healing of the affected nerves.  Give yourself a little more time.  Your vision will improve and you can post messages then.  For now, relax and just 'chill out'.  We'll all be here and looking forward to reading about your progress.

Good to hear from YOU!  Listen to your body - it will lead you in its needs!  It WILL all get better...

Hey Bren,
Good to hear from you, I don't want to sound rude, but using your eyes too quickly may also delay the healing of them.  Maybe try to get Bret to post for you for a bit until  you can at least cover your bad eye and see perfect out your good eye.   Take care and hope you get good rest!!

Happy New Year to you and Bret!!!
Denise

Hi Bren:

Great to read that you are through surgery and recovering!

I agree with Denise - let others post for you for a while. Give yourself lots of rest and let your body heal.

Wishing you and everyone on this forum a Happy New Year!
