8 weeks since seizure....

So - last night (Saturday) marked the 8 week point since I had my seizure.  I could not help but look at the clock and think back from what I remember at certain times that night.  This coming Tuesday will be 8 weeks since my craniotomy for removal of the meningioma.

I have not had a seizure since that night.  My last EEG showed no evidence of seizures.  I am hoping that when I see the neurologist on the 19th - that he starts to wean me off of the medication, however, I do understand that the residual tumor will be the main focus. If radiation therapy is in my future - then lets do it and get it over with.  I am learning to take it slow.....but Lord - give me patience.

This past week - I have been dealing with swollen lymph nodes on my neck, sore throat and nausea.  It has been extremely painful.  I am happy to report that I think the antibiotic finally started to kick in..... YEAH!  I now only have ONE lymph node that is swollen....this is the same one that I noticed the day after surgery.  The neurologist may want to order a biopsy if it is still swollen on the 19th.  (Praying is is GONE by then!!).

I am still doing stupid, crazy, out of the ordinary type things......I just have to laugh, but must admit that it is frustrating.  I asked one of my sons the other day as he was leaving if he had "his house to the key".  He just looked at me and laughed  - me not even realizing what I had said, but he understood what I meant.




<3....Kick off your Sunday shoes y'all...... Hope you all are well!  Happy Sunday!
