Well, 2 months after craniotomy surgery... I am doing great. I almost can go to the gym. I am body's plumbing system is back to normal. I can poo and pee without medication. Yay! Headache is very less frequent. Yesterday and Friday was my first few days on because I had my menstruation. Common towards the end of it. I will be heading back to the gym end of Jan. I cannot wait.

The chills in my bones

It is not old age... it is a sinus infection. I went to my primary care where I sat with all this sick people in this tiny waiting room. So gross. I was thinking my poor scar is inhaling all these disease and I am definitely going to get something now even if I do not. Why can't people cover their mouth when they cough? This lady is hacking her lungs out and what is her cough drops of choice? Jelly beans. Doesn't it gives you more mucus. Duh!!! I went to my favorite nurse and was wondering if my surgeon fax over my notes... more like hinting get me out of here. I just had brain surgery 6 weeks ago and I do not want to be sick with these people.

OK doc came in. Check my nose. Stick out my tongue. Check my pressure. Temp 96.5 COLD!! I have a sinus. Yay! finally something to understand what the hell is with these crazy chills. Tons of sleep and fluid and use my nasal spray. Two squirts a day for each nostril.
