Quick Update

This is a short update from Jim (Susan's husband) to let everyone know how Susan is doing.

She received Gamma Knife treatment last Thursday. This time it was done at Mercy Hospital by people who actually cared about the patient! Susan did not experience any pain when the frame was placed on her head. In fact, the only pain was a headache (a good one, too!) when it was time to go home. It was such a blessing to have really skilled, capable, caring medical people work with her, unlike the (expletive deleted) animals at "the other unnamed hospital."

Now, its just a question of waiting. Susan slept most of the afternoon on Thursday. Some strong pain reliever took care of the headache. She's been up and around in the wheel chair and has used her walker for short distances. Unless there is some radical change in symptoms, she'll go back for a followup MRI and to see her neurosurgeon and radiation oncologist in about one month.
