As many of you know, my Mom underwent brain surgery last month (5/18) to repair a large un-ruptured cranial aneurysm. The surgery (which lasted over 7 hours) was successful and her recovery has gone well. She returned home on June 2nd following a week's stay at a rehab facility to help her rebuild her strength. Since her homecoming, she and Dad have joined the community recreation center where they faithfully go to exercise every morning. Mom had a follow-up appointment today with her neurosurgeon. She was told her complete recovery will take about six months. He said she is doing great and removed all her physical restrictions. Yay - she can hold her grandchildren again! He said she can even drive now if she'd like, but she's not comfortable driving as her vision in her left eye is still a little blurry... Besides, I think she enjoys being driven around like Miss Daisy! ;>)I am so proud of her for getting through yet another health challenge with a great attitude, courage and strength. She's one tough lady! She only has two treatments left related to her breast cancer (Herceptin infusions); then they are free to get back to traveling the states in their RV. Dad says in the future, if she doesn't feel like traveling, she should just tell him instead of getting new illnesses!
Thanks to all for your love, thoughts, prayers and support.
