2-28-2020 New Surgery

  We set a date today for another surgery, I knew this was coming and thank God they knock me out, lol. This one is to stretch my throat. It will be in a couple of weeks and I've had to have this done a few times due to radiation damage. In this, I'll be on a breathing machine and God willing I'll wake up with no extra holes.

The top of my head is still numb while I would like for the holes where the screws were installed to be numb too, but it doesn't seem to work that way. I have some nerve damage to the right side of my head, I can touch the hole and a shooting pain goes straight up my head. Hopefully, that will pass and if it doesn't it will still have been worth it. I timed everything right to where I stayed in the day of surgery and the next day, then come Thursday it was time to feed the cows, sheep, and donkeys. 

Tumors Burnt Out

   Well here it is 02-27-2020, and I have the Gamma Knife done 2 days ago. This time was different, the tumors were still there, except they had not grown any bigger and 1 tumor had vanished. The guys and gals at Thompson Cancer Survival Center done an excellent job.

  My head is still extremely tender even today, the top completely numb still. The worse part of the Gamma Knife is the preparations for it, as soon as you go into the area with the Gamma Knife it is a totally different world. I took a CD of Mercy Me in, they played it and I heard it.

I have to go back for another MRI again but should something show up the will wait until 3 months later and do another MRI. They said they didn't want to put me through it. I'm guessing there were 30 shots to numb my skull enough to put 4 self-threading screws in.

 I still have 1 more operation coming, just not sure when to stretch my throat again.
