Well, today is the day I check into the hospital. I still feel detached from the whole ordeal. The stress involved with all the potential outcomes is by far the worst symptom I have. I have come a long way in my life, facing several adversities with diligence, tenacity and perseverance - the attitude of my life. These cognitive attributes are the foundation of my personality that has led to so much success and happiness in my life. This is what I fear loosing. The doctors say that in addition to loss of cognitive skills, I risk some paralysis in the left side of my body. I do not fear these physical threats. I fear the loss of ability to understand, fight and overcome them.
On a lighter note, I had a very nice weekend. Holly and I had a date night Saturday with dinner and a concert. All of the friends in the neighborhood had a Thanksgiving dinner last night - OMG was that some good food! I would like to thank everyone again for all their support.

God be with you, Ed. I'm praying for some positive news. My cousin was diagnosed with a brain tumor 10 years or more ago. He had surgery and he has been doing just fine. I wish the same for you.
ReplyDeleteEd - Sorry to hear that you're going through some rough water. I'll be praying for your recovery, and that the doctors do good work!
