They Love Me Just a Little Too Much Here


So they are keeping me for at least another day. My silly brain is still swelling so they are going to put me back on steroids so the swelling will halt and decease. My headaches are pretty bad and Dr. Mickey does'nt want me leaving while I am in still so much pain because I live so far away. Thanks for that. I do want to go home. I want to be with my husband and see my friends. I also want to get wags and kisses from the 10 furry pups I have. This is a pic of Tilla, I don't know if I have ever shared that information with you before, but here are the rest of their names,
Boob (aka boobalicious or boobasaurous depending on his actions at the moment), Jelly Bean, Tilla (aka Atilla the Hun) Tulip, Tucker, Max, Moilly, Bug (aka Love Bug) Missy, and Mamma. I will try to post one of their pictures....They keep me very happy. I love wagging tails and unconditional love.

Anyway back to the tumor. It hurts like hell....I just wish the hurting would stop and I could get back to normal. I want to start writing on my novel again. I want to help edit my friends novels. I want to get back to my jewelry business and everythting else I do. However as long as my brain insists on being larger than the cranial capacity, that is an impossibility.

I am not happy about this new development and I am having strict talkings to my brain everyday. We are at odds at the moment.

Just thought I would keep you updated...that's about it for now. Talk to you again tomorrow if I get to go home.

My name is Donna and I feel like crap today

  1. Of Course you feel like crap. You've had a very major surgery. I know you want to get out of there but don't rush it. At home, you won't have the security of knowing someone is right there to take care of any situation that might arise. So hang in there girl. Your days will get better as your body heals...and that takes time.

  2. Hi Donna,
    Sorry to hear you are having some bumps in the road but it sounds like things are going in the right direction overall. I enjoyed the blog; thanks for sharing it. I know you are in good hands. UTSW and Zale give great medical care. My wife was in Zale for 3 weeks and we thought the care was superb. And we're a tough audience, being a doctor and nurse couple, you can't fool us. Dr. Toto is also her nephrologist and we think the world of him. Down in Houston everybody knows him and seems to be in awe when we mention his name..."Oh, wow...you see Dr. Toto?" Hope you continue to get well and back to regular life soon. Best wishes...Rob Gillespie robert@kidneyweb.net

  3. Hi Donna, I'm back home but thinking about you a lot. I guess there will be ups and downs in the recovery - more than you expected. I sure hope you are more comfortable tonight.
