A Little Update

Hello, friends!! I miss you all so much. I’m still struggling a little bit. I keep reminding myself how bad off I was say, two months ago, because it’s important for me to see progress in my recovery. But I keep getting sidelined by unexpected complications.

I’m still being treated for that pulmonary embolism that hit on Valentine’s day, but the treatment for that has caused some internal bleeding. I’m waiting for my CT scan to see if I can come off of that treatment. But that scan isn’t until mid-May.

As for the craniotomy recovery, I feel that is going well. I return to the office on April 16th, barring any surprises that come up.

I’m close to getting back into reading. I feel it. But anytime I pick up a book I quickly lose interest. That’s not typically like me.

I hope you are all well. I think once I get back to a normal day-to-day routine I will be on here more. Miss you!

Sunday Matters: Headed to Surgery

Sunday Matters

Last month I shared a Life Update and since then I’ve been anxiously waiting for these two surgeries to be scheduled. They are next week, 1/9 and 1/10. Cannot wait. It’s weird to be eager for brain surgery but let’s go.

These steroids to control swelling have kept me up for two weeks. No sleep but I am not even tired. Just a little on edge.

I would appreciate prayers heading into this, good thoughts, all of it. Prayers that it is benign. Smooth recovery and no complications. My daughter will be down for the surgeries but has to be back at school on 1/15.

In the meantime I’m reading and just resting. This last week a few more symptoms popped up. I’m isolating to avoid COVID too. That is the last thing I need.

Have a great weekend. It’s cold here but I am cozy and well.
