brain surgery/braids

[shawneez]

Just thought i'd say hi to everyone. I haven't been around lately because I'm in Maryland having 3 neuro-surgeries. Have the last surgery on Oct 26, then I recoup in hospital and then rest for a week in a hotel before coming home by wheel chair. Neurosurgeon really didn't have to remove too much hair for my surgeries which is great and putting my hair in 2 braids afterwards at night has worked out well. After 12 years of suffering 24/7 pressure inside my head and brainstem compression induced multiple organ function down regulation causing multiple other problems I finally found an awesome Australian neurosurgeon who is exceptionally good at what he does. And he truely cares about his patients unlike so many other doctors out there. Although I'm having a lot of pain I'm pretty excited that these surgeries are going to give me my life back. The nurses at this hospital are incredible also which is very unusual.

Anyway, if anyone wants to say a little prayer for my next surgery I would really appreciate it.

I will check in afterward and let you know now it went.

Absolutely thinking of you, my brother has had many brain surgeries, shunts, biopsies [im sure you know the drill!] and I think you are brave and amazing.

I have so much admiration for you, from experience I know it takes a very special soul to deal with all these problems. Major hugs, people like you with such a positive outlook and pateience remind me the world is actually still a good place.
