I will be checked every year, with an MRI, for the next seven years to check that there is no regrowth.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Grandson Arthur is growing up fast now. He starts school in September, what will we do on a Friday now?</span><br />

<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am now getting better with my cardmaking, though not nearly as good as some of the clever ladies on Facebook.</span>daisybhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11874727724905536673noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289916410445060290.post-69987095875071231832014-04-10T13:08:00.001-07:002014-04-10T13:08:16.416-07:00Catching Up<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Oh gosh, I had forgotten I started this blog, way back in 2011.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Well a lot has happened to me since then, but I guess the major event for me was having had a brain tumour removed. It happened after two years investigation into a balance problem, I was told on 22nd May 2013 that something had been found in my brain that shouldn't be there.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On 17th June I had my first seizure and things happened very fast after that. I was admitted to Hurstwood Park Neurological Unit on 18th June, where they gave me all sorts of drugs to get the seizures under control. Once they were under control I was told I would be operated on on 26th June (my birthday) but due to lack of beds in ICU it was delayed until 27th.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The surgeon explained that it was a Meningioma, luckily benign. He had managed to remove it all, but I would be checked annually to ensure it hadn't grown back.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My next appointment with the neurosurgeon is on 15th May.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Then on 17th December, whilst delivering neighbours' Christmas cards, I fell and broke my upper humerus, just below my shoulder. Just what I needed for Christmas. </span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My husband and younger son have been fantastic during these periods, Ian taking on all the cooking and my husband, Dave, doing all the housework and fetching and carrying for me.</span><br />
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: purple; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">On a more cheerful note, every Friday we look after our little grandson, Arthur, tiring but we love it. I cannot believe he will be 4 years old on 22nd April.</span><br />
