My brain tumor journey continues. September 20, 2011 was the most recent surgery. The healing process continues and I thank you for your support, friendship, laughter, and love. I am learning about daily chemo (not so bad) hemionopsias, and patience.

smile time

Here's a shot of a much perked-up Johanna that Rob took this morning.

That sly smile means either Johanna is feeling better, or she's stoned out of her gourd on pain meds. Either way, it's an improvement.

Rob also sent along some info on the condition affecting Johanna's vision, something called Homonymous hemianopsia. According to Wikipedia, it can be caused by tumors, strokes and even migraines. Johanna's is most likely caused by post surgery swelling. She had the same thing after her 2009 surgery, and it cleared up after a few weeks.
