Home and healing......The next step

I'm home and it is a great feeling. This will take some time to type because
I currently have very limited use of my left hand. I expect to gain a lot of that of that back with occupational therapy which will start on wednesday. I can grip objects well, but letting go is challenging due to brain swelling from surgery.   I'm very sleepy most of the time but have more energy each day.  Limited use of my arm is very frustrating but I know I have to be patient and it will come with time.  I'm very grateful for everyone who has come to visit even though I have a very flat affect.  I tend to agitate easily so I apologize if I had come across as rather uncouth, it is not my intention to offend, I am simply heading down the road to recovery.  Jeramy is headed back with my mother on Sunday and he will be returning permanently back to me here in Lubbock during this period.  The pathology report has come back and I have a grade 2 astrocytoma on my right frontal lobe which was removed successfully from the brain surgery but will require additional radiation treatment after I heal.  The neurosurgery team is highly positive on my outlook and I am ready and willing to put a fight.  I would  love to see more visitors during this period and am confident I will be back to running very soon.  I can't thank you enough for all your prayers and support and please continue to keep us in your prayers and thoughts as we continue down this path.  Thank you all again,  Laura, Jeramy, and family
