Sewing mamas!Calling all AmityMama's who like to sew! Do you make quilts, clothes, diapers, bags? Do you love to run your fingers through fiber? Can't get enough just sewing, but want to talk about it too? Come on in!
Last night dh and I arrived home from the NIH. It was so emotional seeing the kids at the airport! Thank you for all the wonderful healing prayers and vibes. I'll put together a longer note with more details, but briefly put: Brain surgery went perfectly - tumor was removed and cysts (another one had developed) basically self destructed with the tumor excision, no others seen on the bain stem. Recovery went well, except for a low (40s) heart rate that landed me hooked up in the cardiac telemetry ward for the weekend. No explanation for the low pulse - stable, but low, no heart attack or anything. Monday night it returned to normal! It was like God just took a hold of my heart and blew life right back into my core. He is so good! And NO, I am not a marathon runner (sure, docs, I have that body - Don't I?). Wednesday evening I flew home!
No driving, lifting or stairs for 2 weeks (or only once down, once up a day), basically just recovering at home in pjs. Then ramping up over the next 4, with a 6 week recuperation time.
My neurosurgeon was thoughtful in the head shave! Basically, they lifted the top part of my hair away and shaved a line down the back under it (I have a short bob). Then the incision extends about an inch below the hair line. Staples (27) came out Wednesday.
I'll post more later. Just wanted to thank you and update you.

Give them love every day

Welcome home! I can't believe you are back already. That is amazing. I hope your recovery continues to be quick.
My very late package should be there today or tomorrow. I'm so sorry about that.
