MRI Friday.  Tumor was not the problem.  No more seizure.  Go back to ortho on the 21st to see if srgery is necessary.  Hurts like crazy.

Thanks all.  It has been a really rough week.  I had to get off pain meds because my digestive system will not tolerate them.  I have a sling and I have actually been going to work.  Helps the time pass.  Back to Ortho Monday.  My advise to all:  Do not get up in the middle of the night for an ice cream sandwich.

Relieved to learn that you're ambulatory and at work, already!  Still sorry this happened and hope your recovery is swift.
