The wait continues....

3/4/2012

But waiting is easier when there's a definite plan in place.  But it gives a lot of time to think about unknowable things, like what will the first week be like after the surgery?  Will I be just fine, but just seem to be all messed up for a while?  I don't know....  But I doubt that I'm going to be SuperBlogger for that time.  I'm going to have to get some Guest Posters.  We'll see how that works.  ...I don't obsess about this stuff, but it does get in the way of getting really productive stuff done.  Ok, I'll quit whining now. ;)

A quick reminder about the fundraiser:  If you happen to know of a venue in the Tigard area for sometime in May, somewhere where Portland people and McMinnville people can easily access (no Dundee jokes....ahem) it would be super great.  I'm fairly unfamiliar with the area except for my cousin's house and the 99W corridor.  Thanks!

Vino Vixens would be a great place in Portland for your fundraiser Kevin. If you are interested, send me a FB message and I can pass you on a couple contact emails. I have become pretty good friends with the peeps that run the place so I would definitely do what I can to make it happen. Peace my friend. -Paul

Great idea, but unfortunately Vino Vixens accommodates less that a hundred people. I'm looking at about 200. keep trying.

If you're all messed up, we got your back. Want us to pick you up a Costco-sized bottle of Excedrin?
Also, Paul's idea is a good one. I liked Vino Vixens. That place has a good feel to it.

*reads Tom 's post* Well. I take it back. Vino Vixens sucked. It's all tiny and stuff.

Hi there,

Your sister told me about your blog - looking forward to reading it.

I just had a craniotomy in January. If you have specific questions about the experience, PLEASE feel free to email me - alicecomplex at gmail.

The first week you'll be pretty out of it because of the pain meds. I found it was really helpful to set myself a bedtime and stay up until then. It was the only way I could sleep through the night.

Good luck with everything!

Hey There! Just checking in on you to see how you're holding up. Only a couple of days to go and then the waiting will be over. Everyone has different reactions in the first week, so don't worry, the people at the hospital will take good care of you....but do make sure you have a good advocate nearby most the daytime. Someone who knows you and your personality well, so if anything seems "off" they'll know, speak up for you, and can keep track of you. Generally, you won't care!


I know you'll do just fine and come back to make lovely music again...just don't hurry the process, take your time to heal and get your energy back. It takes a little while, and you may get impatient, but that comes with the territory.

We'll all be thinking good thought for you and Jai -- she'll need all the help and patience she can gather up, too. Much love to you both!

Keep being brave, Kevin. There's a lot of love out here for you. Lots! And we're all sure you'll do great.

Hey, Kevin. It's Haircut Eve. I was just thinking it would be kind of fun to see a collection of various Kevin haircuts over the years, to compare it to. Did you ever have a mullet? (tee-hee)

Thinkin' good thoughts...will look forward to hearing how it goes. I hope Jai picked up some flexible straws for drinking juice, etc. when you get home. We took magazines, board games, snacks, etc. to the hospital while we waited during Dena's surgery. You just kind of camp out there.

The next time I see you I guess you'll be a little bit lighter with that rock out of your head. :0) Best, Kev! See you soon!

    It'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.
