Sure, Danielle. It surprises me that there could be such a long delay between surgery and a spinal fluid leak. Fortunately mine wasn’t so serious as to require another hospital visit.

Hi, my name is Danielle. I just happened to find this when I was looking up info on nose packing. A month ago I had the same surgery you had in Albany. My ENT doc. gave me self disolving nose packing and it’s all starting to come up now. Gross. In your writing it said you had this surgery multiple times? One of my risks the doc. said was a CSF leak. I hope I don’t have one. He said it could happen 1- even 6 months after surgery though 6 months would be rare. I’ve never talked to any one with this tumor before, or who went through this surgery. Maybe you could email me a little more about how your recovery went and how your doing now?

@brentdanley – Yes, that’s what I was thinking!

@Jim – Come on, being a “good girl” isn’t any fun. ;-)

Glad it went well and you are back with the family although it sounds like they were never far away. Hope you didn’t get spanked to badly for getting out of bed, or were you a good girl and stayed there?

@Kirsten – You mean, in a “swing your hips to the left, swing your hips to the right, swing your hips to the left, clap your hands and jump-turn 90º to the right” way?

@Steven – LOL! Don’t worry, I don’t think you’ll ever run out of “funny.”

I think I’ll start calling the tumor a “macarena” now. It sounds more catchy–not in a malignant way, but in a positive, peppy way.

Hooray for your brain, Kir! Thrilled it all went well. Lets hope that nasty Macarena stays away for a while this time!

Loved the “hot lava” bit :-)

I’m funny? Oh, the pressure. Now I feel I need to make some sort of gag. I’m not sure how long I can take this!

Wow! I am impressed and in awe and not much will do that for me now at my age. I have prayed for this little girl of yours Jr. as you well know and I don’t do much of that either. but I shall continue. It seems like a long time ago in Canada but she still has my admiration.

@Brent – I’m glad I at least appear to be smart. Thank you. You’re right, Steven IS funny!

@Sue – Thank you! I wasn’t sure if people would find my whole surgery story all that interesting. I appreciate your kind and thoughtful compliments. Now I’m trying to picture my life as a reality show. :-) I would love to get together with you and AJ this summer! We had a great time with you last time.
