Default brain surgery

Well its been about three weeks sence I had surgery on my head and sitting at the house sucks. Went in today for some test to see how my memory and thought process are working out. I spent about six hours taking test on memory and motor skill test and the Doc. wants me to go and see another Doc. for someother reason. She told me but I dont remember what it is for but I think it is for dealing with everything thats been going on. I had a tumar at the top of my spine and it would not let the fluid drain into the spine which was causing the bladders to overfill. The bladders where pushing out on my brain and causing me alot of problems. I tell you that the things they can do not is just out of this world. They went through the top of my brain to get to the top of my spine and remove the tumar. Just remember guys and gals if you have a problem please go and get it checked out , had I not been married to my wife at this moment I would not have gone to the Doc. so everyone be safe and listen to your body. Only good thing is that the weather her in Pensacola right now is pretty darn nice so I can get out and walk and not burn up .

I feel for you and wish you a speedy recovery. I too had two cranial surgries, and seizures (daily) for ten years. Full recovery here and living life to the fullest every time I crawl behind the wheel of my nassau blue C5. "Save the Wave"
