Hey guys...we got home last night.  The travel day was a bear with delays, but I slept better in my own bed last night.  So I am 8 days post Translab.  Dr. Friedman and Dr. Shwartz at the House Ear Institute saved my life.  It is true.  Things went really well.  I can walk well, it hurts some still, I am wonki.....what's new,  I am SSD but was nearly there already.  I have a lot to share..but I will when I feel like it.  I just wanted to mainly tell you all I am really ok...I encourage anyone to stand tall and brave in the accoutic neuroma arena, and I do promote surgery but that was right for me and my family.

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.
