Just a quick post to update...
I came home on Wednesday, just 48 hours after the surgery! Totally crazy, went in the hospital Monday AM and was home by Wed early afternoon. Had to get repeat MRIs done Mon. AM since the ones they did the previous Thursday didn't work, but the Mon. ones came out OK.
Surgery went well, the tumor (or whatever it was, we'll find out more next Tuesday), was the size of a ping pong ball, slightly bigger than expected. But they were able to remove it and I'm walking around like a champ. Taking it easy for the rest of the week, and then go to the doc on Tuesday to have the staples removed and discuss results with Dr. J.
Not too much else to report except I was already out of bed walking on Tuesday! Very exciting :) Photos to follow soon :)

So glad you're home well & that it was removed. Think of you often - thank you for sharing with all of us. One of your biggest fans & cheerleaders, Kaleb!... :-)
Need more updates!! :)
I am so glad I came across your blog.
I have been seeing a girl for about 8 months who has Lupus and recently discovered she has two tumors.
She doesn't always open up about her condition and I really had a limited idea of just what she goes through on a daily basis.
Sometimes things that seem simple to me are tasks for her. I couldn't always understand why going to the park or out for dinner was "too much".
Than you for writing this blog and opening my eyes a little.
Hey, it's been many months since you updated... how did the surgery go, long-term?
Thnking of you!
Happy belated New Year, Feb 2011 as I write...
