After everything, I stepped back again to see exactly what has been happening. It is sometimes neccissary many times because, my metal health is not always good.
1) If I hadn't had the surgery, I would have been dead or seriously disabled very shortly.
It is gone
2) the surgery has had two very interesting results, my blood pressure is now normal and I lost
20 pounds. (my doctor thinks it was the tumor, not the weight loss that changed the blood
presure and I will acept his idea for now)
3) The hospital stay has monitered my blood sugar like never before and basically, I found any
oriblems very simply controled -1 pill a day
4) My disabling headaches are gone - they were so severe that for 20 seconds, I couldn't open
my eyes and they might have killed me before the tumor.
5) The surgery did not affect my cognitive ability, nor my sence of humor.
6) The whole incident has given me a better emotional and spiritual perspective on things annd
let me not try to control so much.
7) also let me be more thankful for what I have ( I guess that is both spiritual and emotional)
The downside has been my eyes and everyone keeps tells me that will change soon...
But besides driving a car and working, a patch seems to let me read some cause I am getting along very well, walking and doing things without aid.
All in all, it has been positive, but I am waiting fir still more, so the story is not finished

Wait - let me get this straight - you are still in the hospital?
I had no idea, Whitemist. Nor did I know your medical issue was a tumor.
Please know I'm thinking about you. And I can see you getting better through your words.
yes, a tumor that was taken out of my brain... and I have been in the hospital 5 weeks
Keeping your sense of humor is very important! It's keep one going!

Joey K, how long will you be in the hospital?
I have ubtil the 16th of September I am told, then they release me.
The Staff has been really great, Nurses, assistants especially, some of the Docs could use improvement, tho.
