Weekly update

Still waiting to hear from the radiation oncologist. When I last checked, they had all they needed but were still designing the 'plan.' I'll call again today to ensure that there is no problem with the insurance or anything else I can affect. I'm thrilled with my new hair cut. I've not worn bangs for years--I can't guess how many, I'd have to do pictorial research! But I'm very comfortable with the cut. Thank you Susan. The photo to the right is of me with my friend, Trish, taken last week in Salado. I also visited my neurologist last week. Seemed a bit concerned about the amount of swelling visible on the MRI, and increased my Keprra. I think this was a good decision, though I'd been dreading anything that would affect my mental acuity. However it is a fair exchange to not suffer from seizures or the other symptoms caused by the brain tumor/swelling. I will be able to drive again December 26. Merry Christmas to me!!
