Only 10 more sleeps….
It so hard to be excited about the adventure of the Camino ahead of us….when our future is in such flux. Today is the day I hope to get some more answers about all of it.
To start..... a coffee..... at our local cafe.... and didn’t a dear friend of mine, Shelley come in with her husband. It’s been about a year since I have seen her and what a welcoming sight she was. We had a lovely visit and in fact another friend also appeared and we shared some laughter and experiences. But I do need to head to the doctors…..so off I go.
I stood at the door to my neurologists office and took some very deep breathes and embraced the wisdom my daughter, Alex, shared with me…”We will deal with whatever happens.” In I go…..
Within a 40 minute visit, with her, this is what I know; My tumour is small. I may have had it my whole life, there is no way to know. It is not affecting it’s surroundings. No swelling or spreading of it. 85 % are benign. They cause problems when they grow and put pressure on the brain. Which is not happening today. She spent more time talking about my vertical spells I have been experiencing. She stated that I am ‘perfect’, neurologically, after she tested me in the office.
She is sending me for one more test which is an EEG (analyses brain waves) to ensure I have no seizure activity going on. (December 22nd is the day).
. We will see her to go over the MRI results one week from today. If the tumour begins to grow she will be sending me to a neurosurgeon to be accessed for brain surgery to remove it…..but not today. Yipppppeeeeee.
….Oh and she said we can GO ON OUR TRIP TO SPAIN!!!!!!
