Hi Hrissy!

Glad to see you posting!  You've been through quite an ordeal but sound great!  Did the doctor think they got the whole tumor finally?  I'm so sorry about your facial paralysis and eye problems and unfortunately have no advice because I was lucky enough not to have these problems.  I'm glad to hear the doctor is optimistic that things will return to normal though.  Keep up with those exercises and your great attitude.

Wishing you all the best,
Wendy

Hrissy:

Congratulations on your successful surgery.  I pray that your facial paralysis and eye problem will soon clear up.  Thanks for updating us.  Now please rest and take care of yourself.  :)

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Hrissy -

it's so great to hear from you  ;D

I'm sorry to hear about the facial paralysis and the eye issue, but with time they should both get better.

Thank your brother for updating us while you were in the hospital.

BTW, I wondered about David's Bulgarian also.  Maybe he had to learn it for a movie  ???

Hi Hrissy,

Great job.  I know that your face and eye will improve over time.  Be patient, and rest while you can.

Your positive attitude bodes well for you...keep it up!

P.S., I was 29 when I had a 4+ removed, and that was over 20 years ago...and I thought I was young!
