Well, I can't tell a lie...the sunshine, warm welcome back to St. Teresa's, and a feeling that there really IS a future has done a world of good for Amy Jo. Sorry for the lack of updates, but realize that with Amy Jo NO news is Always good news...sorry, but it's the truth.
Recovery was almost a whirlwind with Lorena and the Carlson clan taking the reins. Within a week, Amy was back on her feet, the family could go home, and she was functioning better than she had in months. She spent a lot of down time, resting and recovering, but the old spark was returning faster than anyone (including her) could realize. Tumzilla had been wreaking havoc and was now being replaced with healing spinal fluid (which Amy eloquently described as "a gushing feeling."). Her bald headband was growing back and gave her something to fiddle with besides her teeth.
The time off gave Amy a chance to catch up on other health issues too. Dentists, eye doctors, GP's, etc. Even though Amy had just come through brain surgery without a blink, a visit to the dentist generated a real live panic attack...that's when we realized she was still healing and had to take things easy. Thankfully, the dentists office came through, got her relaxed, and she was able to get treatment. Unfortunately, when Amy got the bill, she had another panic attack. She survived both of them. (Just kidding about the second one...)
Anyway, for those who have been following the posts, Amy is doing better than anyone could have expected. She is back to work, doing yard work, sticking with Heather when time permits, and is still healing and recovering every day. She has an appointment for another MRI in June and she will find out then if chemo will be necessary.
Until then...
Her Friends
