I thought I would blog about my appointment today (Thursday) - since I can’t seem to sleep.

Dr.Bay said I am doing great. She said that I can now be a little more active. I can start driving now and I can start working out for about 20 minutes a day walking or biking, but no weight lifting yet. I still have a few restrictions , but nothing to big – like lifting, vacuuming, ect.

As for my right leg – she said that it will take time and that working out may help it to get better, but that we really won’t know for sure until a year from now to see if it is permanent. She said that most people have worst numbness then what I have had (if it doesn’t restore back to normal). She said that it is so much better then what others deal with. She said I don’t need to do physical therapy at all for my right leg, but to just really give it time to get stronger and wait an see what it do does. I am so praising God for giving only a little numbness and not my whole right side that should have been!

As for headaches, pain, pounding, and feeling like I am thinking in a fog. She said that it may not go away until about 6 months. That as I get back in to my normal schedule and are active in building back up my energy – that it will improve over time. She also said the same thing for not being able to sleep much. That as I am active and regain strength  – she feels I will be back to having a better sleeping pattern and getting full sleep without and sleep aids.

As for going back to work. Well, she said not for another 4 weeks, but I told her my work would allow to take me back part-time. So, she compromised and is allowing me to go back to work on the 11th of February part-time only working 4 hours a day. Then that way I can work my way up to being able to handle a full day of work as I am working on getting stronger.  An then on March 3rd I can go back full time. So excited that I finally have a date of when I am going back to work.

Test results came back all okay and as for treatment – no radiation at this point. I will go in April an have another MRI done and see Dr.Bay again to make sure everything is good and that nothing else has developed. She believes I have had the tumor since I was conceived – it’s hard to explain, but my mom is so better at explaining it then me. I will have MRI’s every 6 months to a year for the rest of my life and they will watch it all very carefully.

I am planning to go back to my home for good on this coming Saturday. That will give me a week before starting work to get back settled in and getting in to a routine. Other then that she told me to quit worrying so much and realize that it’s going to take a lot of time to really heal an it has only been 5 weeks since having surgery.

Thank you Lord for such a good report and that I can see the fingerprints of God on my life!

You are such an amazing God and I just praise You for Your love, grace, peace, healing, and wonderfulness! I love you lord with my whole heart!!!!!!

Thank you for all your prayers – they are being answered!

Please keep remembering me in your prayers and that God’s healing hand will restore me. Also please join me in praising him for all he has done for me - I am so blessed!!!!!
