Just got home. I came out exceptionally well. Sorry if I spell things a little wrong. I'm still "dizzy".  I had translab the tumor was they say around 3 cm. and took about 7 hours just 3 hours longer than they thought it would. I was doing so good they were going to send me home sooner but I started to have CSF leak. So I am sneaking this post to you all to thank you for all the support and well wishes since being diagnosed in March. You all truely helped me get through this.  My support of my husband and family has been exceptional. I will post more soon when able. Better go....

Shari,


The entire ordeal is so stressful; the build-up, anticipation of what is to come, trauma, results and you made it!  You have that part behind you now.  Congratulations and don't forget to have someone pickup some "talking-books" for you at the library.  Relax and listen to some stories that can take you away mentally.  Thank you for posting and letting us know that you made it this far.



Best wishes further,

Shari:

Congratulations on a successful surgery! 

I'm so happy for you and trust you'll have a rapid recovery.  Please try to take it easy.  You'll be back to your usual routine in a few weeks, I'm sure, but right now, your body needs rest as you enter your 'postie' era.  Enjoy the 'time off'!  :)
