A little rough day!


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.
