Fabulous long hand clapping and foot tapping concert by Pink Martini and the Corvallis Youth Symphony last night. Just the thing I needed to get me ready for 6 hours or so of neurosurgery. My surgery has been moved up to tomorrow, Monday, Feb 25th at 7:30 am. It is probably a good thing as I am having more pain and numbness in my left arm most likely caused by the growing tumor. I must admit I am quite anxious about what this surgery entails and am very glad to be getting it over with.
My neurosurgeon could not really give me a good idea of what to expect after the surgery as he really won't know all he has to do until he gets in there and sees where the tumor has grown. What I do know is that I will be in a rigid brace for three months and won't be fully healed for 9 months to a year.
I am so glad that I was able to spend almost three weeks in Phoenix with dear friends playing golf and bridge, doing yoga, making fused glass, visiting museums and art galleries. It really kept me from thinking about what was ahead.
