DBS- Part 2

So in the next room right now, wouldn't you know it, my son, Aaron is trying to explain the theory of science to my mom, my other son Bryon, and my husband. My goodness they are getting loud. Anyway, I feel sorry for my mom, because she is going to lose this argument.

All I wanted was a quiet night at home to recuperate from my second brain surgery. Oh well. So much for that. My head is full of staples and now I wish like hell I had just shaved my head. I have a row of them on one side of my head and a row of them on the other side and I have to wear scarves to cover them up. This is not the worst thing I have to do since Lyons has a lovely little shop full of bright, beautiful scarves from which to choose. And I'm totally NOT into wigs!

This time, I had to go in at 9:00 a.m. and wasn't seen until noon by the neurologist. Everything went just fine and I was awake during the drilling of the hole in my head this time and then went promptly back to sleep. When I woke they went right into moving my left arm, hand, leg and foot. It seemed ridiculous and I was really, really tired, but when they were done, I was happy to hear that I may be able to go off my meds completely!

Off meds completely!?!?!? I will keep my fingers crossed. Given that possible outcome, what is a few weeks of scarf wearing?

I have actually looked at wigs. My hair is falling out. I don't want to be one of those old ladies whose scalp you can see. I am not even close yet, but it takes me a while to commit to such things, so I'm doing the research now!

Love you,
