So, what happened?

Everyone knew i was going to have an op.it was the 11th Aug in the morning.
I was given the os, where they cut off the left part of the skull and removes the cancer (i think).

I was brought around but do not remember. After two days, 13 Aug my brain was bleeding and a new op had to be done. This time I was caused to stay asleep i two & half weeks.
Every friend did not know the out come of my life.

The 17th I managed to briefly show some life.


The 27th Aug I awoke and my life, weak as it was,said hi! I had both feet, hands, sight and touch. I managed to surprise the Drs and my lover together with fam friends and also close work colleagues. So, after nearly several weeks I am at Hästhage and train my poor,weak body. Give me power everone!

In one hour they fetch me and take me to the op rum. My iphone and other stuff will be moved to locked room somewhere and i will vacate my nice single room here on floor 6, dept r16, room 3. I have showered with special anti-bacterial soap and am lying on my newly bedded bed. In one hour approx they will roll me down to the op room and, as always have me count to 5 knowing i will reach 2, maybe. I've been knocked twice before during my life.

At 12 years old the knew i had an undescended right testicle and the school Dr thought it was time to do the right thing and remove the thing from the channel on the right side where it was stuck. The took it out, cut open my right side of the scrotum and pop it in. They sewed it up and i had stitches in both places. Of cofse i didnt know when i work up that i have stiches in my balls and thought i had just loose skjn. When i lifted my bed clothes and saw the stiches in my scrotum i got a shock. What followed was a complcation that cauSed a blooded clot on the wound and i had to spend an extra week in host and squeeze out the blood in 3 sali ne baths a day. I was in Croydon General hospital for two weeks instead of one sods of law.

Now i have taken a sedative and in 20 mins i will bexrolled down to the theater for my new acting part. I wil be trusting the surgeons to not take away my entire right vision as i can live as it is now. So the nurses now want my iphone to be locked away.

So this is my last entry for a awhile and, the the higher things around us might let me survive with vision intact as the are now instead of loosins my right vision. Keep though thumbs crossed.

Just as I thought

Had a long visit from four of my work mates (section chief included). We had a good talk and they stayed 1,5 hours at least. Then GF came and dinner was served. As i finished the nice surgeon arrived and told me there was no other tumour showing on the mri. However the now known as primary tumour had grown since 28th july 2x 1,5 to 3,5 x 1,5. This shows its more than likely cancer and the op will be at 8am tomorrow, Wednesday. Hopefully my sight will not be made any diff than now but i cannot bank on it.

This was heard also by my ex who turned up. When the doc had gone, my ex bro & sis inlaw arrived so we were a quite a bunch in the visiting room.

Now they have all gone and im on 16 cortizon tabs, plus epelepsy, stomach and simvastitin. I will have an injection in my stomach to ward off infections tonight and at 6am tomorrow. I will shower with anti-infection soon and again tomorrow. No food from midnight.

After the op it will take at least 5 days to say the cancer type and then decide the course of treatment. Whatever it will be will be tough. Gosh what curved balls are being thrown my way!

My new place

Now i am at my new living quarters. I have got my own room on floor 6, dept R16, room 3. Here i will be until tomorrow morning, when they give me sedatives and wheel me down to the OR and knock me out for 3 hours. They told me i will woken up straight after surgery as this is the best for my brain so no long time stuff. I will know whats what when i actually become compus mentus. I will be held in a recovery room for a while until moving to my real room on ward R13,not R16 and probably not my own room :o( . Hohum. I probably wont care.

Had my MRI at 11:30. It was a complimentary one, lasting 20 mins. I should get some answer from the brain surgeon who will be visiting me this afternoon. Maybe they've found the culprit causing this one. I've got a headache and i wonder if its the stress or the ruddy tumour. Oops..now its time for ECG.

Today I woke at 9:30, had cereal for breckie and took the bus to the data centre. There, I went to the colocation and looked for my keys to the room in the cellar. There is my Alt Saxophone and music/stands. Couldn't find them. Went down to level two and found my old friends from the site engineering dept and one of my work mates. They said they would open the door for me. My work colleague and me went to lunch and had a good talk. Once back we took down the power for WoW, which is now almost silent. The lights are turned off.

Then me and work friend went to Colo, where i should him how to fix new people in the key system.

The phone rang and it was my neuro surgeon. We had a long talk about the ways and wherefores and she was very good at explaining. Basically they think i have cancer and somewhere a primary one, hidden. I asked if, finding another that was easier to reach, they might be able to get to that and check whats what and she said yes. The MRI tomorrow might find the primary growth. They will also see if the one they see has grown since being found 2 weeks ago. So I guess things wll be known.

Colleague and me went down to the cellar and I pulled out the Sax from its lovely case. I gave it a blow and it felt good, even though ive lost most of the knack. Packed everything up and GF met me at the entrance. First time the Sax has been home for 5 years.

So, a little of Whisky with cola has been drunk after dinner. The first whisky and coke though got spilled all over my litte Samsung Laptop and it basically f****d. So, if I get through this thing with everthing in working order I will buy a new one.

Its 21:38. Time to pack a few things maybe.

I will be admitted to R13 at Karolinska Universitetssjukhuset at 10:00. Visiting hours from 14:00 to 19:00.

Welcome all who wsh to say something.

Spoke to the nurse at Karolinska this afternoon. She is going to get the neuro surgeon we met last tues to ring me on monday. If i want a second opinion i will have to go to Uppsala. I want to know how many have really checked out my pics and if there is another way of handling this. I wont just nod and accept the first thing that is said.
