I'm Home now and I'm amazed at my success

I feel very good, kept most of my hair and fell head over heels in love with my surgeon, Dr Peter Black.... Although all the pathology has not come back, It seems to have been more of a success than was ever expected. It seems that the tumor was kind of capsulized. So it stayed together, and was easier to take out. He said my first MRI looked good but there was still some swelling, I will see Dr Black in about a month and half with a new MRI. My future looks great and maybe even a little more normal, If thats at all possible. I also have less deficits than before. no finger toe or face numbness!!!
Thanks for your kind thoughts, prayers and notes.
Bette

Attitude, Attitude, Attitude,, I have to say if I were in the position as Betty, Betty w/ a 'Y not an 'E.. You just cant change letters in your name with out a family ok..lol.. I' would be blessed to have the courage, the positive attitude, and the grace that my sister exuded the last year and through this last surgery. As some close friends pulling for Betty said; Any of my problems that I thought I had, were not a problem at all!. We can all learn from Betty and her frinds',, That with a great attitude, faith, friends and prayer we can endure and accomplish anything. A great man said, With faith you can move mountains,, But bring a shovel. I feel with heart that what made Betty's tough road managable to date, was all her friends picking up a shovel with out a blink of the eye. Especially all the girls in her life. ( You know who you are & and so dose she ) God works through people, people like you. What a feeling to know when things look dark and the road looks long, and your feeling; I can't, Your friends say, We can.! > Betty is blessed to have you all. Betty's friends are the real deal. Welcome home. Bro, Al:)
