home. Officially been one month since my surgery. Words arent enough to describe. Funny cus my brain feels the same if not healthier but my body def still needs time to heal. I talk funny n Need a walker to walk. Left eye still not blinking and still got double vision. Need to tape one lens on my glasses to see single. Hair and eyebrows growing back. Not looking forward to shaving and hair cuts.
Update: Got my staples out recently. The incision is healing nicely according to everybody who looks at it. Been rehabbing at a rehab center in Oakland, doing a lot of therapy, learning to walk and balance. Tumor removal happened really close to balance nerves and facial nerves so they’re still recovering . Lost all my hearing in my left ear and got a lot of double vision ( seeing 2 of everything). Still can’t blink fully with my left eye. It’s been a rough 3 weeks but grateful for everybody who’s helped out in any way or reached out .
Hey Chat,
I dropped a project on my SoundCloud if yall gas about the greatest artist of all the generations ever. Ima still be tweaking it up until I release it on all streams so you get to see how it changes before the finale. Meant to drop it last summer but lots has happened Alas, In A Perfect World…
One of those changes being I discovered the reason I lost hearing in my left ear was cus of a large, rare (non-cancerous) brain tumor growing in my head. It’s pressing on my brain stem so I’ll need to go thru a 10 hour procedure to get that fucker out on February 23. Crazy af I know but I’m looking it at it as a good thing: I’m getting a tumor removed, hell yea, tumors are bad. And, it’s non cancerous so I still hate my life. Lfgg. I’ve also struggled with mental health stuff for the longest, and I’m hopeful this will help with that since compression on the brain stem apparently affects things like heightened anxiety, depression, fatigue, focus, fear/panic, irritability, decision making. Which are all things ive fasho struggled with for the longest lol
Trying to not make this a long read but just know I am doing okay aside from certain moments where it hits me like damn wtf a fuckin tumor wth yikes. Grateful for everybody helping me thru this, it’s been forcing me to get better at asking for help, which is easier said than done.
That being said I am gonna need months to recover to learn how to walk again since the surgeons are gonna be poking around close to my balance nerves, as well as my hearing&facial nerves. Might need to crowd fund or something since I won’t be able to work. I’m having a garage sale this Sunday so pull up (also moved tonAlbany thru all this lol) Separate post for the garage sale details, lots to say, will get better at baby stepping it , ily 😘
