2 weeks post op..

And I am feeling good. My scar is healing well, and when my hair grows a bit, it will hide most of it. I’m recovering well, and apart from the odd headache, I’m pretty much out of pain, but I’m bored! So I must be getting better!! I can’t crochet so I’m painting and knitting!!  I’m looking forward to start catching up with friends. So visitors are welcome!!

The operation went well and they got most of the tumour out. The bit that’s left was too close to my speech control, so it wasn’t safe to get it all, but my last scan showed it as being ‘insignificant’, so that’s really encouraging.  They did find one more wee bugger in there, slightly lower from my operation sight and there was the other one we already knew about. They were both treated with gamma knife on Thursday. Few more headaches as a side effect but it’s all manageable.

I remember bits of my op being awake, but the majority is hazy. My neurosurgical team was amazing. The anaesthetic team kept me sedated and awake as needed, and the ICU nurses were so lovely, and I was really well looked after.

I had 44 staples removed a week after surgery. A few of them were a bit sore and stingy but generally it was ok.

I have put 4 pictures below, so scroll down fast to miss them!!

So now I am concentrating on making a full recovery. I am very tired all the time! But hopefully this will improve.

I will do another live blog soon. Thank you all again so much for your well wishes, kind words, prayers and support to me and my family.
