Out of Utah

Hey everyone, I'm posting from WA from my parents' house. Not quite totally freedom, but a lot better than the hospital. I got discharged on Thursday April, 14th and we drove all the way home that day. We've been unpacking, and I've been working on my online class for school-just trying to catch up. So I'm feeling okay, pretty weak still-especially my legs, getting around the house with a walker. The doc resected 90% of the tumor during surgery and said I was able to bounce back really well. I might say well, but whatever-now I'm pretty good. I have no news on long term treatment plans or prognosis, hopefully that comes soon. I am considering gamma/cyber knife treatment in Seattle or chemo treatment in Kennewick depending on what I qualify for and what dr. Coleman from Huntsman recommends. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers and keep them coming.

Progress in Rehb

I guess it's time I finally blogged so all you non-facebookers hear from me. I am in the rehab center in the hospital (UVRMC). I should be getting out on Thursday, April 14th and driving back to WA to my parent's. I had surgery on March 25th so that's a longer stay than last time (in 2008) but a lot better than 2007. I am unhooked from all tubes and wires, just swallowing pills all day and being awake all night. I am doing much better everyday, getting stronger and more balanced. The left side of my mouth and face still feels numb, like Novocain is still there-that and worse overall vision seem to be the only/main deficits as I am getting stronger, more mobile etc. I can eat anything and get around with help.
