I SPOKE TOO SOOON!

my hair is all over everywhere !. Still prettty !! Teehheeee
After surgery, it took 8 days for the stitches to be removed. By which time your biopsy results should be back.
Anyway the planning for radiotherapy and chemotherapy starts straight away.

I heard at the hospital that doctors are divided in opinion on when a person should start radio and chemo. A month later or asap. then again it depends also on your biopsy results.

Any medicos reading this, information would be good. So if there is an informative website someone diagnised with a glaeoma, could use to scare themselves :) it wwould be appreciated. Thanks!

SURGERY!!

BY THE WAy I didn't lose any hair!! I'm still prettty !!YAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY! hehehehehhe!!! brain surgeons by light, hair stylists by dark. They did my surgery after tying my hair up in cute pigtails. Yes it was cute!! My mom said so!!!
So I dont think you need to lose all your hair. atleast not right away.
DEFINITELY talk to your surgeon about that.

Plus like my anasthesiologist promised, I did not wake up or feel a thing. All i remember is waking up outside the operation theatre to be told that I was CURED! YYaaaaaay !!! All indians, there is NO red bulb outside the theatre that goes on and off when a patient is wheeled in and out!!! I checked!!

Ok now thats the easy bit.
i knew i'd have to spend the night after in the ICU!BUT I had been warmed!!
How bad could it be??
I mean to scare no one but, OH MY GOD!!! WHAT THE HELLL!!! The worst night of my life, definitely the worst, no competition !! No drugs( you're too drugged up for them to give you anymore of the good stuff, NO entertainment and really really bad company.
You can google this condition, its called ICU PSYCHOSIS! Everyone need not experience this. This is just a heads up!

Anyway i got through 12 hours of craziness by torturing the nurses and begging to be allowed to leave!:)
Dont be worried. Apparently its normal. That made me feel tonnes better.

(Oh i had a craniotomy, by the way)

OSHO for the day - The human body can take a lot. Do not be worried.You're going to
get through this. You have to, to get better.If you have a prayer,
a chant, even a favorite song, maybe the name of someone you
love, then keep saying it over and over again to take your mind
off everything thats scaring you!

For now go and check if you need new shoes!! :)

Surgery - Die mooshy mooshys Die!

Heylo
I watched the movie 'Awake' a few months before, in which the main character wakes up while being operated on. Yuckkkkkkkk! how the hell am i gonna get through my surgery now???
So when i met my anaesthesiologist, i asked him if I would wake up. I also asked him if i would feel anything. He reassured me there was no way I would. Cos I was being monitored every second. If i did wake up, they would knock me out again.how dare i doubt the anaesthesiologist
But seriously just leave everything to your super surgeon and enjoy this weird experience.
All i remember is being asked if I wanted to sleep. The next minute I'm done.Tata mooshy mooshys!!Don't ever come back. Yaaaaaaayyyy!
Anyway, for pre-op,save all your energy for the most fun time post-op. All the love making will have to wait. Damn it!
All the best ! Die Die Mooshy Mooshys!!!
