Thank you all for your amazing outpouring of love and support!

Summer!


I am SO relieved ? my surgery has been changed to WEDNESDAY! We met with the doc this after noon, she got us all set and then she called back later in the afternoon saying that she wanted to wait til Wednesday because she will have ANOTHER surgeon to assist her and it will give me a few extra days w/my family. I showed her a pic of my Kyle and of course I am all crying ? she must have felt for me! I SO need these extra days to get things ready. As positive as I am been, I totally lost it like a hyperventilating basket case when I got home. Bryan too got some REAL info about this and all that can happen. If I even survive it, I could be in a wheelchair, stroked out, you name it. First they said I would be out of work about a month and since seeing my x-rays, they are saying SIX months now. I may not be the same person afterwards and the mass is SO big (the size of a small orange) that they cannot even remove it all now ? the size and location, deep to vital blood vessels and close to brain stem. They will have to leave some in there and operate again another time. We still do not know if it is malignant or not. Even w/the huge thing deep inside my brain, they were amazed that I passed all my tests with flying colors and did all my physical stuff perfectly. Let?s see how I do with half a brain! I may even go somewhere to get myself back to functioning ? like staying somewhere besides home ? that would stink, but yes, I want to get better!

I know this will be a huge financial burden and who knows, we will probably sell our house, but as sad as it sounds, if I am going to end up not making it anyway, I?d rather just spend these few days with my family and then go in my sleep! I know that is not my positive attitude, BUT if we knew I wasn?t going to make it, why go thru all this? I plan on making it anyway, but yes, I will look different and not be able to take care of myself for a while, but I will come around! I have a loving husband, wonderful family and the support of so many wonderful friends and neighbors. I need to rest and I cannot type much more, but I wanted to ask people NOT to come visit me until I am aware of what is going on. You want to remember the ol? crazy Sheri, right???!!!

Now I have time to get things done ? try to apply for disability, get things straightened up around here.

I am going to send this out to EGO and everyone else too because I just don?t have the strength to repeat everything. Summer, thank you for being a wonderful friend!!!!!

I adore you! Kiss and hug my Katie and Jonny for me ? Kyle would love to see them soon, but we need to stay away from lots of kids, due to infection, etc.

To all who have asked about visiting ? I need to be alone with my family at this time ? please let me get through this first and then we?ll have a big party at Grandma Char?s!!!!!!!!

XOX!!!

Hey there...I'm glad I was able to check my email from my phone or I would have shown up at your door. I understand that you're not up to visitors and may not be for a while. Just know that our thoughts, prayers and LOVE are with you. PLEASE tell Bryan not to hesitate to call if there's anything I can do for him or Kyle.

Hopefully you meant that Cheri will keep us posted through EGO? I hope that's the case. I'll go crazy if I don't know what's going on and of course I wont want to bother you or Bryan for answers.

Don't stay down too long...I'm sure Joan will be coming back to town soon.

Take care, I LOVE YOU!

Summer
