Shaved Head :) - 12/18/12

I thought I would quickly blog to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers as I embark on my 4th craniotomy surgery tomorrow!  We will be at the hospital at 6:15 a.m.  My children have decided that they would like to come with on this day so they will be out of school.  I am not yet sure when they expect to do the 2nd brain port surgery - it sounds like it will be in a couple of weeks.

Kurt took the shaver to my hair tonight as I know they are going to shave my hair off anyway.  I figure why go in with hair when you know you are going to lose it anyway - didn't want to come home with half a head of hair.  :)

Here's the before/after pictures that my daughter, Ashley, took:

Dark/gray hair which stuck up - Kurt is behind me; he is going to shave my hair off
as I will lose  it where they perform the surgery anyway!  

Shaved head - ready for surgery - OMG... look at that belly and swollen cheeks!  (All due to medication... well mostly!  It's a reality how much weight I have gained because of the meds!)

I will have Kurt update the blog with my surgery status until I am home and feeling up to it.

(I also wanted to say thank you to all who sent gifts with 'believe' and 'miracles happen' on them - LOVE THEM ALL!!!!  Okay, most everything says that but even if it didn't, thank you!!!)

Happy Holidays to Everyone!
