First Post Op Visit

So, everybody wants to know how my doc appointment went today. He basically explained what happened during surgery. Yup, he removed a tumor. Yup, it was the same cancer that I originally had. No surprise there. He says that I am healing well and quickly, although I should stop getting annoyed with my energy level. I know, all of you are saying the same thing. It will take time. He says basically to listen to my body, you know, do what I can, but be sure to rest a lot as needed. I suppose I am just pushing it. He also said that I am healing so quickly that I will most likely begin radiation sooner than planned. I will have radiation at the surgery site as well as the other small tumors that I have in my head.
I found out that I have five small titanium plates holding my skull together (I thought I only had one). I wonder if they are in the shape of a tiarra hahahahha
Before the surgery, I was having issues with my hands clenching and then I would get a horrible cramp in them. Back then, we thought it had something to do with the steroids that I was on. I haven't had that happen again after surgery until yesterday and now the doc seems to think it might be little seizers. We don't know for sure yet though. I will remain on seizer meds for at least another three weeks. These meds make me really loopy, but I suppose that is better than the alternative. One more thing, my vision. He thinks that my vision is better than it was in the hospital. I am not so sure though. I have been concentrating a lot on trying to compensate for my vision loss, so we aren't sure yet if it is because I am trying to train myself or if it is really getting better. Time will tell on that.
So, in short, things are going well, I will be going back in about a week and I need to learn to be patient and let my body heal at its own pace. I need to try to remember that this is only temporary and before I know it things will be hectically back to normal.
I know this was a lot of info, so if you have question, feel free to ask! Again thank you for all of your love and support!
