Thanks to all for positive thoughts.  I am swigging smoothies w/active cultures and drink lots of water.  The vancomycin is hard on kidneys, so they tell me, so I keep a large cup of water with me at all times.  I am definitely the hare in this race, but since we know he was the winner, I can hold out until this is done!  I repeat this mantra multiple times a day, mind you.

 Maybe we need to invent a medical position for all of us who have had craniotomies.  Athletes have sports psychologists to keep them motivated.  We need craniotomy psychologists to keep us encouraged and in balance w/all that is going on in our heads, physically and emotionally.  Anyone care to name this much needed position?  Craniotomy caregivers?  Brain balancers?
