Surgery--Again

Happy birthday and happy fewer zaps ...!

Thanks Margo and jes for the good wishes.

Alrighty -- one zap and one brain tumor to go, and there will be nothing more to post in this thread. I wonder what I'll read all day after you're done being sick, but, in the immortal words of OMGSigDavid, it is so stipulated.

Hey hey Boida...

Healing wishes to you today as well as birthday wishes.

ONE TO GO.... ONE ZAP LEFT..... hoping the next 24 hours will whizz on by and you will be done with zapping.

In a few weeks, sooner rather than later, the side effects will hopefully be a distant memory.

one to go...one to go...one to go...one to go........

I know that when I walk out of that clinic tomorrow, I'll be buoyant. But I'll still have at least a week of feeling exactly as I do now. Eating and drinking as I do now. That's hard, but the end is in sight.

I think I'm feeling more down than usual because it's the first time in my entire life that I haven't done something special on my birthday. Nothing I can do, and I plan to make up for it, but it's hard. I did wear my favorite color today--kelly green.

Many people here and in the noncyber part of my life have gone out of their way to help me enjoy this birthday, and I have. So there.

Hip-hip-hooray! Roberta enjoyed this birthday!

So glad there's only one zap left.

(This is my attempt at kelly green btw. Not quite it.)

A Birthday treat for a tender throat:



(Just eat the inside.)

a last zapper hug, B...

(its a big soft one)

I'm so glad you enjoyed your birthday, Boida. I know you'll get to do something special to celebrate soon.

Hey Boida...

what time are you off then for the last zap?

it's 4pm here, so in my world, you've already had the last one - yay yay yay

so glad you are nearing the end of this chapter.

Hoping now it's done!


Time for your body to regenerate now... get rid of the other pffffststtsspft nasty going on... then starting to live again girl. Hugs. x

Had my last zap this afternoon. Wish I was as exhilerated as the graphics suggest. I will have to go to have this checked once every month for three years.

I look forward to tomorrow. Don't have to be anywhere. I like that. I look forward to next week, when, maybe, I'll be feeling better. Watched someone have lunch (a sandwich) in the waiting room. Felt resentful. Not nice.

Week after next (I think) appointments for the head tumor resume.

I guess it's gonna take more than the end of zapping to lift me up. Maybe some solid food. I remember that. Stuff involved something called chewing. I vaguely remember that as well.

I'm impossible. Ignore everything I said. I'm thrilled that the zaps are over. Thrilled I tell ya.

Being zap-free is good.

It is, indeed!

Hallelujah! The zaps are done!

Nite Boida et al...

Hope tomorrow not having to be somewhere will be a better day for you and the healing process begins. Sleep better tonite.

Boidy, not being able to talk, is beyond my comprehension. I hurt to hear how it hurt you to talk, but thinking that the kvetchiest, whiniest goil from da Bronx (now in Manhattan) , unable to really kvetch or whine, except on paper or the internet, is unnatural. The world must be out of orbit.

When I think of you in the hospital, taking tests to see if your brain still worked, and having everyone in awe at how smart you are, I can see all of us rolling our eyes and saying, "No ****, Sherlock!!"

Thinking of you, loving you and holding you in a gentle hug.
