Today was not the most fun day. Yesterday I had a weird sensation in my left arm and leg again that was new since the surgery. I called the Neuro and she said to go to the ER and get it double checked. So I did. It took five hours, but nothing is scary. The CAT scan showed that there wasn't any new growth and blood work all showed normal. They though maybe I was having some mini-seizures (not uncommon) that were causing some of those weird sensations, and that possible some swelling had caused the seizures. So they did what sounds pretty straightforward and gave me some steroids for the swelling and an anti-seizure medication. It took all day, but there it is. Nice that it's good news to report.

Those pdfs aren't perfectly correct. I'll put the new ones up later today.

Kevin and Jai, I'm sad you had to go through that. Must've been scary. Glad it all seems A-OK. Keep healing, K. See you both at the concert/party!

KevinIt's me, Kevin, but with a brain tumor. Disclaimer: I have a very dry and twisted sense of humor. This is a scary situation. The jokes ("tumor humor") could be a little dark from time to time. I intend to keep this rather interesting for you, but if I get a "how could you SAY that?!?" response from you, know it's just, well, I hesitate to use "gallows" humor, but I don't have better phrase for it. Enjoy, and thanks for your support through this time. Archives
