It is probably due to the lack of sleep last night. I am feeling a little frontal head pressure and behind my right ear some neck tingling. Judi came and took me to get a mexican lunch (my favorite) this afternoon and it was good to get out of the house. I then actually got to take a little cat nap on the couch while the kids were watching a movie and eating popcorn. The carpet is a wreck-corn everywhere-oh well! I then got on the internet, which was probably not the brightest idea since I am not feeling 100%. I got really involved in trying to find a story with someone that has a tumor the size of my golden golf ball of 4cm. Most stories I am finding they are much smaller. The larger the more side effects from surgery. I found this guy with the same size at 4cm and he walked me through his experience. It is great reading for a tumor humor check it out at http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2006/jan/19/lifeandhealth.g2. It was an eye opener and it scared me a little. He experienced R facial paralysis and could not close his right eye. His recovery was a little more involved than I was expecting. I was hoping to be fully functioning back taking care of my kids and at my desk in two weeks. I guess I should be more realistic, so my expectations are not crushed. He had a gold plate surgically implanted in his eye, so his lid would open and close. My doctor mentioned that procedure to me as well. I was really impressed with his attitude and hope to have the same spirit. I hate to sound vain, but I just want to smile again and have a functioning eye, so I don't scare people away. I really want to play tennis again too. Well I feel better now and I am going to try and contact the guy to see what his status is today 2 years later. Again this could of killed me if it was not caught and I am lucky to have found it not a day later. Michelle hurry up already and get here. She will be here tomorrow and I am sure she has tons in store for me. Ive got lots of fun filing for us to conquer.

Wow Dara, you are such an inspiration! Can we blame this thing on the Simpson Funk - maybe just years of build up? I hope that you and Michelle have a wonderful time together.
I will be in constant prayer for you and your family. I am praying for an overwhelming sense of peace and for clarity of mind as you get closer to surgery. I can't wait to see your beautiful smile! I love you, Chris
Dara,
I am staring a prayer chain her in Torrance as well as with my Grandmother and her cousin in Georgia. I will have a lot of powerful women praying over you, especially on the 12th.

Dara,
I know you are afraid and who can blame you. You can not find success stories because those people are out living their lives. That story is a reality check, and those things can happen, but the flipside is that people heal, the body is amazing, yours is very powerful. Hang in there hun. We will get through this. Your surgery will be flawless. Your recovery will be speedy.
