Do you want to see my brain?

I had an appointment yesterday, Feb 17th, with Dr. Mickey (nuerosurgeon) and after extensive testing, we have decided it would be safer and I would have a better long term prognosis if he went in thru the derma (skull) instead of the nose. I'm all atwitter about the prospect.

Am I nervous? Yes, I guess I am. Am I afraid? No, I don't think so. I am nervous about how much it will hurt afterwards,(yes I know I am a wuss...but) scared, no. I believe in destiny and I just have too much on my plate for it to be my time.

The cool thing about all of this is they will take pics during the surgery and I will post them here. So I will have proof that I actually do have a brain and I bet it's big and smart looking. Now that's not something everyone can say....Hey....you want to see a picture of my brain :)

There's really not much else to say about it. Tuesday is the date it all comes together and Wednesday is the date that will tell me if all is well. I will get back to you as soon as I can to update info. I am taking my computer to the hospital with me so hopefully I can do my show and tell on Wednesday. Wish me luck, and I wish you safety and good health.

My name is Donna and Wednesday really will be the first day of the rest of my life.

    Will you be in Dale Lipshy hospital in Dallas? I assume you will be in ICU for a day or two, then home if everything is going okay? Keep us updated on room numbers etc. I already know you have a unique brain!
