Where did time go?

    I didn't realize I hadn't blogged since APRIL!  So, in case your wondering, yes, I am indeed still alive and kickin'.  I've had a few procedures and a couple of hospital stays since.  I've been out of the Hospital probably since May 7th.
    Along with being told, that the lung cancer had returned and having pneumonia. I entered the hospital having horrible headaches. And as you may or may not have seen in my last blog, this was because of a tumor on my pituitary gland in my brain.  It took awhile for them to get my medication correct.  I also wound up breaking my power port, so I had that replaced. Luckily, it had not shattered and dispersed through my body. I also had another bronchoscopy.  I had to be OUT of the hospital to have the Gamma Knife Radiation treatment (otherwise the insurance would not cover it.) That was a bit of an emotional procedure because they discovered in the MRI before hand the the tumor is way to close to where my optic nerves cross. They had to be very careful when going in to radiate the tumor.  The results of this procedure take up to 3 months to see take affect.  I'm also back to full chemo. My next treatment is 7/13.
    The brain tumor has left me wearing sunglasses ALOT.  My balance is also way off. 
     In happier news, I am now been blessed with some items I've been wanting to make my life a little easier.  Now, as soon as I'm well enough, I can travel the skies again. I have a portable oxygen concentrator! Since the cancer returning, I'm back on oxygen full time. I also got approved to have my insurance cover a power scooter! I am very blessed with an awesome nurse at my insurance who helps get things done. I should have my scooter this upcoming week.  My adult stroller can be a pain in the butt. Especially when you have to tell people where to go and you feel like you are yelling just so they can hear where you would like to go.
