and an ear infection

June 28, 2015 So J says I have bad karma. Just as we were leaving for vacation today I spiked a temp. So 8hrs. a walk in Dr., 2 ER Dr. and 5 neurosurgeons later we discovered I have an ear infection.

So tomorrow, or later this morning (It's 12:03) we try vacation take 3!!! I believe this is surgery induced infection still.  This is what they pulled out of my ear.

Impressive picture huh? Quite honestly I had an episode Sunday and one a month ago. They were short-lived, I shrugged them off.  This is a 6 cm. meningiona on the brain. It is most likely benign (they will find out for sure when  they take it out) and probably been slow growing for awhile but it is pressuring the brain now. I will have surgery for tumor removal in the next two days. Most likely when I wake up here in this fine facility. I'm kind of a big deal around here and they are moving surgeries around.  wink emoticon I have every reason to believe this will be a successful surgery sending me on a 5-6 week recovery of the brain repairing itself with this tumor and absence of this tumor. I am honestly most devastated about abruptly being done with this school year  frown emoticon  That just t
