Recovery Con't

Amy Jo is home and resting...um...um...well, her mom is kind of holding her down?  She's home, yes, but Amy Jo doesn't really care for the "sick role."  The hard part now is making her remember that she just had major surgery on her brain!  I don't think any of us can relate to how awful Amy felt while Tumzilla lived with her, because now it's "What are we going to do, today?" Ha!

Her face and eyes are impressively swollen and her scar stretches all the way across her head from ear to ear.  But the pain is down to a 1 - 2 from the surgery and the internal pain...the endless squeezing feeling, fatigue, double vision and dizziness are gone!  Without Tumzilla, Amy Jo is back to the old Amy Jo and boy are we glad to see her!  The problem will be getting her to rest enough to recover completely from the surgery, stave off infections, and realize that she has to take things slow.

As I empathize and try to imaging how horrible Amy felt living with a beast in her brain, I feel nothing but relief and happiness that she is already chomping at the bit to get back out there living her life. It's been a loooooooooong time...

We are going for a walk outside a little later.  Isn't that cool?  Also, Amy plans to write on the blog in a day or two, so keep following.
