Was down to Halifax today to talk to the surgeon about recovery so far. While we were talking, he told me that while he was operating, his heart was up in his throat. I guess sometimes tumors are easily distinguishable from what is supposed to be there, but was not so in my case.
The 'schwannoma' he removed was growing directly on the nerves that run down my leg into my foot. This made it quite difficult to know what to take, because of the high risk of severely damaging the nerves in my foot and thus the ability to use my foot in any normal capacity.
Right now, a large portion of my foot is numb, and will remain so until those nerves grow back.
To say that Iam happy with the results would be an enormous understatement. I can shower without pain when water runs over my foot, the weight of sheets over my foot in bed doesn't hurt anymore and perhaps most important to this Hants County dweller; I can wear boots again,
Two new prescriptions today, one of which is putting me to sleep as we speak.
