I am so amazed at how good that I am feeling so soon after my brain surgery...I get really tired pretty fast but over all I have been pretty much pain free....I never expected to come home and be able to do so much for myself...I thought it would take so much longer to be able to start to do things for myself...It has been only 8 days post op and my healing progress is at where it should be at 6 weeks post op...the location of the tumor affected my ability of my brain to stay focused. I have to train my brain to stay focused again... the doctors said that this tumor had been there at least 2 years and it made feel like I just lost interest in so many things that I had always enjoyed doing...I noticed things happening but there was always a reason to blame it on. I would have never thought that I had a tumor. I would forget things .I would joke about it and say oh that is just called oldtimers ...I would get extremely mad over nothing and I just blamed it on the fact that I was still so sad about losing my mom 2 years ago. I was an avid reader and I didnt enjoy reading anymore because it would bore me because I would have a hard time staying focused....I would blame that on being tired because I was working too hard...there was always a reason. I had so many drastic changes that were happening and not knowing the reason why...well now that the tumor is gone I am really starting to look back and see how it affected my life in so many bad ways...The doctors have said that when you have the type of brain surgery that I have had that my brain heals at a very slow pace...I have to do just a few things each day to teach my brain to stay focused and my brain has to heal itself...So I am very exited because I get to go out of my house tomorrow for about 1 hour. The Mayo clinic will tell me what I need to do each day to help me get my strength back....I am just so thankful that my post op pain is so under control because I was expecting it to be so much worse than it has been. I know that I have been posting a lot but after feeling like I have for these 2 years and not having any interest in anything I am excited that my brain is starting to feel normal again...I just have to take it slow and easy...I owe all the Glory to the Almighty God!!!!!
