No news is better than bad news. But in this case, I think its best to have the news: I will be going in for a second crainiotomy.

Yes, you heard that right, a second brain surgery. And to top it off, I lost my ‘new’ job at Fidelity due to company-wide layoffs. April 26 is my final date. Wow, when I’m down, I don’t just go a little way down, I go all the way. Why couldn’t I have manifested any nunber of other things, like the trip I wanted to go on?

I am trying to keep the faith and it’s not easy. The doctor said there was a lot of swelling and that he could see no other way. He said that this would give me the chance to clean it all up and start a new course of treatment. I don’t know if the radiation didn’t work, or if it’s not ‘treatment’ related it could be just swelling which is not good.

So, rather than have to guess as to why I’m out of touch recently, these are the reasons.

I won’t know anything about the second surgery until I speak with a doctor, and schedule the surgery. Once I do, I will let you know. Handy thing, this blog.
