Well, my MRI certainly did not come back they way I wanted it to. I had so many tumors in my brain that they could not count them. The DR's all got together and had me in havinf radiation treatments with in 2 days. They make a real weird masck that holds you head perfectly still as it is strapped down to a radiation machine. It only took about 10 minutes at the most and this counted walking in and going down the hall , having treatment and getting back out. I was going to have 15 treatments in a lower dose so that it did not hurt my brain as much as a 1 week treatment could do.
They also immediately put me on a 24 hour very high dose of prednisone.
with in 2 days, I could hardly walk as the prednisone kicked in with the radiation. I walked into the hospital every day crying, cryed through the treatment and cryed my way home.I spent about the whole 3 weeks in my bed. Luckily I love my bed. On about day 5 they said that they thought I was having a bad reaction to the steroids and needed to get me of of them. that took a week to get me off of them and that was with me hurrying it up by about a day and a half.
I had a small seizure in my left leg when I was getting off the prednisone. no pain just weird.
I am doing waaay better now. I am still a little dizzy when I walk, but even that is getting better.My legs feel a little heavy. OH YES and ALL my hair fell out in one day. crazy.but least of my concerns. The radiation burned my ears and forehead the worst.
I have discovered that I am married to a iron chief. I had no idea what a good cook he is. When I am feeling better I think we will need to share the cooking duties. He is amazing. Not just in cooking, but in encouraging me each and every day. He makes me feel like I can do anything and thanks me for taking the treatments. What a man. What I really need to say is what a Man of GOD. I am truly blessed by my husband. I think if I worry about anyone in would indeed be Dan the most. So when you are praying for us please add a big dose of pray for him. He is doing EVERYTHING
As always great things are going on in my life also.
