Sutures removed

Had follow-up visit to Dr yesterday and had the sutures removed. The incision is mostly numb so it didn't hurt much....just a little pinching. It is healing well. I need to decide whether I buzz my hair down to match the peach fuzz patches or let it fill in looking "patchy" - please feel free to send your input.

My biggest complaint is still that my mind just isn't as clear and sharp as I'm used to. I was reassured yesterday that this is normal after brain surgery and I should expect it to take 3-6 months before I feel like I am completely back to normal. Second to that is stiffness in my neck which apparently is also common.
We also had the chance to go over the MRI's that were taken before and after the first surgery, and before and after the second surgery. They were amazed considering the size of the tumor that I did not have more symptoms than I did.
The amount of swelling of my brain after the first surgery was significant and for the time between the first and second surgery my swollen brain actually occupied the space where they had removed part of my skull in order to gain access for the surgery. I'll be getting disks of the MRI and will add pics to the blog in the next day or two.
Oh..I was finally able to take a complete shower this morning and wash my entire head. It felt soooooooo good! 4 weeks without a complete shower is tough!
My mom and dad are heading home Sunday morning after being here for a month for the whole thing. Thanks Mom and Dad for all your help and support. It has been an unexpected blessing to have all this time together. Allyson's mom will be here until we get her a plane ticket to go home :) Thanks for your ongoing help Barbara :)
