Another milestone post today! Gaining a lot of use of my left hand back as we speak. I'm actually typing with 2 hands today. Today I can supinate and pronate my left forearm and pick up a plastic cup without having to use my right hand to assist. I'm looking forward to finally being able to shower without wound restrictions. I hope to be back at the MDs office next week to get my staples removed.  My typing is currently slower than my thought process and that is frustrating to m because I'd like my hands to work faster. Today I walked out to my neighbors mailbox and came back, but it was very warm outside and I found myself wearing out very quickly and needed to sit down fast. I have my appetite back finally. I ate a full meal for both lunch and dinner today. I am very grateful for all of you who have provided me and my family with food the past week. It is crazy to think that Tuesday will be a week since Surgery. I have been very lethargic on my recovery and today is the first day that I feel like I've been really aware. I am ready to go running. For those of you who know me well, you know I am not the type to sit idle and wait on recovery to come along. I would rather reach out and grab it myself. This has been a huge mental battle because sometimes I cannot overcome the exhaustion. I'm mentally preparing for the battle that lays ahead for me.  I will require radiation therapy to stabilize the tumor and prevent progression in the future. I have received my pathology report back and I have a low grade Astrocytoma of the right frontal lobe. My neurosurgery team is very optimistic on my recovery because I have so many positive factors going for me, like being young and not having any neurological deficits prior to the onset of the seizure that happened over a week ago Thursday. I am very optimistic as well, because I refuse to let this tumor define who I am personally. Statistics are just numbers and numbers are personal records waiting to be broken.
