Overheard this past week: "So, not only do we get an order of brain surgery for our tumor. But we also get unlimited sides, awesome."
Barometer Head-
I have discovered another joy, side effect, that craniectomy and craniotomy patients deal with. Barometer head is a term used to describe the overwhelming and painful feeling of pressure from changes in the barometric pressure; storms, moisture, etc. I had hopes of missing out on this particular joy because I haven't had any symptoms so far. Nope, it attacked with a vengeance yesterday and hasn't let up. Moping and eating my feelings right now. Distraction is good.
A personal journey beginning the day I was rushed from the Emergency Room and admitted to the hospital to be treated for a large brain tumor. Through this life experience I try to share lessons I have learned and my faith in God is a large part of that. Some images can be graphic in nature, dealing with injury and subject matter can be triggering for some readers.
