I didn't expect to blog again so soon but thought I would keep everyone informed. As I mentioned in my last entry I am on the road to recovery but don't we all know that every road has bumps. I have been telling Cortney that something is just not right. I am getting better but there is something that is hindering the progress. The past several weeks I have had a severe backache and my fever has not gone since surgery. I visited my family doctor for a urine test a couple of weeks ago thinking possible UTI and it was negative. I have been so worried that I have another problem occuring and it was going to take testing and persistence to resolve the matter. When I saw Dr. Hoh for follow-up last week I mentioned my back pain. The diagnosis was no kidney problems since I didn't wince when my back was pounded. I insisted that they take a urine sample just in case. What do you know, I got the call today that indeed it is a UTI and I am now on Cipro for the infection. As crazy as it may sound I was ready to get cake and ice cream to celebrate the announcement and the medicine. Tell me that brain surgery doesn't make you a little crazy!! So now I am back on meds and hope to recover from this little bump in record time. Hopefully then it will be full recovery ahead and we can back up and talk about what I have been through and not what I am going through. Keep praying.

Also, please pray for a friend I have made from Ohio, Nicole, who is going for appts.the next two days for opinions about surgery for her new found aneurysm. She too is young with 2 small children and very frightened just as I was.
