My visit to see Dr. Horner went well. He was
impressed with my healing so well for being only 2 weeks post-op. After
careful examination, he is confident that I have an enlarged lymph node
(lymphadenitis) due to some stray bacteria from my incision. He put me
on some strong antibiotics (due to being hospitalized...there is a risk
of it being MRSA or some other hospital borne bug) and said if it's a
lymph node it will be gone in 7-10 days. I was instructed to go back if
it had not resolved by then. Also, Dr. H is sending me to a speech
pathologist to try to resolve some speech issues..and he told me to
steer clear of my iphone and computer until I've healed more. Light
combined with brain inflammation does not promote healing. He said the
best place for me is in a dark room...but I'm weepy enough as it is..I
can't handle that. Therefore, I'll be online only incrementally and
forgive me if I don't reply to texts, phone calls quickly..I'm trying to
keep the visual stimuli to a minimum. I'm tired. I got my sleep all
mixed up the last two days and am trying to stay awake all day so I can
sleep tonight. Otherwise, it has been a good, relatively pain-free day.
If I could ask a favor, please pray for my friend Rosalyn's mother-in- law, she just had surgery a few days ago..and now they are going back in as the first surgery didn't do the trick.
Thanks again for your continued support.
