Grace,

I'm sorry I missed this thread. I'm glad that you're making a full recovery. My thoughts and prayers are with you!!

Love and hugs,

Donna and fur kids

Don’t feel sorry for missing anything – this is the first I’ve posted about it.

Kirsten – no, not through my nose. I have an incision, about 5” long starting at my hairline above the right eye, and it ends about an inch behind and above my right ear.

It felt really good to get in the shower and get that dried blood out of my hair this morning.

Aziel, liz, Phred, Ellie and Donna – thanks for the good thoughts and prayers.

I had it in my head, that everything would work out well. I was determined to be home no later than today. I was fearful, but not frightened. What bothered me the most was waiting the 5 weeks from diagnosis to surgery date.

I will say I think my doctor is totally surprised by my recovery. Apparently, the first thing I said to him when I woke up was, “ I’m going home on Saturday.” And then said it 3 more times, He asked Douglas what was going on that day, and Doug told him that I was just planning to be home then, nothing more.

Inside this 70 year old body is a 35 year old mind, and when I make a decision, I am determined to carry it out ☺

So glad everything has gone well. Thoughts and prayers for your continued recovery.

[Randi]

Grace, I had no idea either, but I'm glad it went well and you're back home.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Grace, I am so glad you are okay. That must have been scary.

How lucky you ahve been that they could get such a big thing out through your nose. That explains why you are already home. In my case they ahd to open the skull although it was only walnut size.
Take it easy- it is a major surgery and you may feel the shock of it more in the time to come.

Barbara, it was not through her nose.

No. it was NOT through my nose, as I explained earlier -
