One week after nut cracking

well it's a week on and the story is :

This time last week I was unconscious with a nurosurgeon rummaging around in the back of my head taking out a 3 cm tumor, I got in to recovery around 6 , spent 14 in a ward of 4 ladies on 4-6 hours monitoring while being plugged in to saline, they asked us regular question like
Do you know where you are?
What year is it?
What month is it?
 Then the usual obs, blood pressure , temp, checked pupil reaction, only pain killers I was on was paracetamol and codine every 4-6 hours.

I seamed to passed with flying colours because I only spent one day in there then got to go in a private side room with my own bathroom and moved to 6 hourly obs but just in the day. If I needed anything I just pressed the button but by this time I was totally independent by then so I only ever need them if I wanted drugs .

My main goal was to be home before Xmas day, well they let me home after lunch on Monday with a bag of steroids and a few paracetamols that's all I need,

a massive thank you to every one that thought of me during this time and sent me messages, I did see them all but due to my eyes being still quite squiff and blurred I was almost impossible to reply, my eyes are not that much better and are still blurred but I was told they could get worse for a while till the swelling goes done in that area which may be a few weeks but I'm no longer wobbly and unbalanced on my feet wich did get quite bad before my op.

Today I have had 20 pin/ staples taken out out from the back of my head, my scar is quite impressive but as they have not shaved the hair in that area on the initial scabs have gone my hair will cover it and one even know.

It's amazing and I cant get my head around that only 7 days ago I was having a craniotomy and it happened , they told me that were able to get every thing they could see and I will probable need radiotherapy on my head to mop up and cells that may be left , hopefully that will stop it coming back in that area, then it's going to be a form of chemo to hold of the other bits that are in there.

It seams they want to give me similar chemo like I had before, so a chemo then 3 week gap then again on week 4, and I think I will be jessie time again as you hair falls out with radiotherapy any way, not sure which they will do first but they are just leaving me till the new year to recover now, then once they have the results from the testing of the tumour they can decide.



So heres is to the new year and a new road of treatment and hope to result in shrinkage or total blast of the fooker and we are hoping for no evidence detected (NED) with is a possibility if treatment works.
