Stone archway through with you can see trees

It’s been so long since I sat down to write a blog post. So much of my life is different; so much of the world is different. Also, I realized I skipped WordPress 5.0 entirely. Oh well, on to 6.0! My brain situation has improved over the last couple years. Checkups have been good and on June […]

My tumor was benign rather than malignant. That means I won’t have to receive radiation at this time. (WAHOO!) […]

Staples in my skull a couple weeks after my brain surgery.

I’m having trouble remembering all the details of my recent brain surgery, so I wanted to write down as much as I can recall. Here we go. What started out as a Tuesday night fever on April 24th had me in bed trying to cool down. Later that evening, I recall waking up in an […]
