This sucks

[tri again]

Well the 19th I'm gonna go down for brain surgery to remove a pituitary tumor and they won't even let me out of the house for at least 3weeks and I can't lift anything over 10lbs or bend over. I'm not a inside person lol i get really bored and I'm used to riding about every day this is gonna suck.

You'll be ok.
Just get everything you think you may want/need.
Load the freezer etc so you don't have to think about what you might want.
Get it all now.

You may also want to consider anticoughing compounds and stoolsofteners
since those activities will raise your csf pressures more than lifting or bending.
My personal fav is tussionex for cough control,
I just HATE everything about tylenol but that is my one exception.

What are your symptoms and how did they find it?

My father had this surgery. It went well and he was up and doing more than he should have with in a week. I had to yell at him a couple times for breaking Dr's orders.

Thats good to here it's being done of the university of iowa hospital it's one of the best in the nation my first doctor the Ear,Nose,and Throat doc is number two in the nation. and he assured me he's never killed anyone in this surgery lol that makes ya feel a little better.

I was looseing my perifrial vision so i thought I needed glasses and i went to the eye doctor and the eye doctor and the nurse that was looking at me all got really big eyes at the same time. I knew something was up right then I asked what do I have and he wouldn't tell me he said he wanted me to get a mri first he only had a hunch what it was. Well I got the mri and it showed the tumor, the doctors said it was one of the larger ones they have seen in a while. They then recommeded me to the University of iowa hospital where i've been going for while now. I'll be glad when I get this all over with, I hate going to the city I like to stay in the country where i belong. lol

You have every right to comment. When i start threads i am hoping that people will comment and contribute which is what you are doing. I wish you the best of luck and hope you have a speedy recovery. Feel free to write as much as you want in this thread and keep us posted on how you are doing.

I got some good news yesterday. The doc said i am heeling faster then the most people (still did get a date when i can ride). I hoping to go for a rip in 2 weeks but i am not going to rust anything.

Kieffer, good luck with your surgery, you'll be fine!!
Heath, great news! Just keep doing what the doc says and you'll be back on that sucker in no time. I know how it is, you feel good and don't want to wait but you know if you push it, you could be setting your self back as far as healing correctly. Take your time and rest up.
