thank you God. I don't have cancer and I am an idiot.
This past Friday, I was watching Wheel of Fortune. When it was over, it took me a few minutes to even notice what happened. The program ended and I thought, what happened? I had missed 20 minutes. That was weird. So I Googled it, you know how Google offers up dozens of answers? Straight to Brain Tumor. Huh.
I owned it immediately. Surgery, no biggie, chemo ugh. Survival to 5 years 30 percent. I would have lived that long without the diagnosis. Worried all night about whether to tell husband.
In the morning, I told him. He was a rock!
We spent the day at dialysis. I told the nurse. She laughed and said Did Not. Ok.
Went home and thought to myself, I should examine the other question of the diagnosis. What neurological condition causes absence (French). Google pointed right at Petit Mal seizure. Ah, I would be unusual at 25 minutes and 2 hours at dialysis. Will have Dr. Holland order me an ECG. I won't be on meds. Win! Win!
Told husband, God bless him, didn't even roll his eyes.
