Default Well, RATS

We left home at 5:35 AM .....Today was the routine, every 3 months, check-up brain MRI and meeting with the surgeon who removed the tumor in Feb. The MRI showed everything was 100% clean and clear but the surgeon was alarmed because of the seizures I've had the last 2 months and my neuro is on leave -- she had her first baby a month or 2 ago.
We told him about my trouble with short term memory and word finding -- that's worse than seizures right now.

This is all too long to tell - I could not believe how long we talked. I couldn't believe what we talked about. I can't believe any of this.

At 4:30 this afternoon my neuro's nurse phoned - good grief - my neuro (on leave), another neuro and the surgeon had arranged a conference call. I was to increase another med tonight, expect another phone call within 2 days to arrange another hospital stay, more MRI, PET, VEEG, maybe WADA, neuropsych.

I don't know what's happening. I don't know what to do.
