Hi everyone – wanted to give you an update on what’s been going on with me the past two months. I had two strokes a week apart in late January and early February. From the first I had expressive aphasia – meaning speech, typing, reading aloud – and the second left a deficit in my left hemisphere vision. A week after the second stroke I had clots in both lungs and both legs. These are painful but won’t cause any permanent issues. My speech and vision are almost fully recovered, and all of the clots and stroke deficiencies should be fully resolved in the next month or so. The cause of the strokes/clots was a tumor. Surgery to remove it went very well the last week in February. I will have 18 weeks of chemotherapy which hopefully puts the cancer in permanent remission!
Thanks to all for your well wishes and thoughts!
