Recovering from brain surgery

 I can assure you in December 2017 I really did not think I had a future so I have written this blog in the profound hope that it helps others who feel no matter the situation they find themselves in that there is help out there and they do have a future.

A little about my situation in December 2017 I found that I needed major brain surgery.  12 hours of it to be exact! 

Followed by brain seizures, placed in coma, collapsed lung and many other serious post operative problems. Additionally, I was so incredibly weak. Plus I had to surrender my driving license. 

I had this problem since I was born but had absolutely no knowledge of this growing mass in my skull.

What you discover that you quickly develop a mental health issue
The biggest issue I encountered was anger and frustration. I looked at others to blame.
My parents had both passed away and one of the first lessons you learn is not to expect any help and especially from people you have helped.
Help does come and often from the least expected places.
My neurosurgeon's secretary visited me and brought with her my favorite cake!
Unfortunately I had to go back to hospital with sepsis a few days after release. All I can remember is thinking how fast the ambulance was traveling and how convinced I was that I was going to die.
