Lynn is home!
« on: March 19, 2011, 07:38:28 am »
We walked through the door at 8:30 last night. He was very tired, he is having nausea and still having head pain from the surgery but the doctors are amazed how well he is doing. He said not everyone does as well after a translab craniotomy. I told him hundreds of people were praying for Lynn and he said "I believe it". Thanks you all again for all your prayers, we are truely Blessed.

My husband had translab 3/15/2011 for 1.5 cm x 1.5 cm left side AN at
Methodist University Hospital in
Memphis, Tn

So glad Lynn and you are home.  A terrific milestone in the recovery process.  Rest, rest, walk, rest, rest, etc.  I suspect he will see fairly rapid recovery now that he is home to familiar surroundings and can get some uninterrupted sleep. You need this, as well!

Many continuing thoughts and prayers.

Freda ~

If my experience is any guide, I believe that Lynn will recover rapidly now that he is home.  Home-cooked meals, your own bed and familiar surroundings have a therapeutic effect.  :)

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

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.

Jim you are right. He is home and recovering. He still is very nauseous, and his head hurts alot but overall he is doing good.
