hedgetrimmer is home!
and doing very well. All the symptoms he had have disappeared and he is having a remarkable recovery. He can't do much as he has lost most of the motion in turning his head. Don't know when he will be back on here. The doctor said it will be a couple of months before he goes back to work. We are very happy and wanted to thank you all for your kindness and support.

12. Terrific News!
So glad to hear this. Please give hedgetrimmer our love, best wishes for healing, and our desire to see him - and you, back to full strength in time for the big battles for our country next November!

For you, please remember to take some time for yourself here and again, it is so easy to go into full care mode and let one's self get into a frazzled and weakened state. A little time to take care of gate of the sun, will go a very long way to help hedgetrimmer.

My best to you both.

15. Sorry, I must have been napping, but what happened to him?
Sounds like a car accident? Or perhaps work related?

Either way I'm glad he's home!

17. 2 weeks ago we found out
hedgetrimmer had a brain tumor. It was operated on this tuesday. He is doing really well. It does not appear to be malignant but haven't had the pathology result yet. he was dizzy and couldn't find words and his neck hurt. well his neck hurt for 3 months and word difficulty maybe 3 weeks and 3 days of dizziness. My brother who is an Rn said maybe he has a brain tumor. I took him to the ER and he did. well the rest is history.
