Today was Easter and I made dinner for the first time since surgery 3 weeks ago. It was a simple meal of grilled lamb, Israeli couscous, asparagus and salad, with a simple goat cheese and cracker starter. We finished with cake, which I got a New Seasons. I was so tired after my mom left, I had a 3 hour nap. Feeling stronger each day, and feel like I can take on just a little bit more. Looking forward to being all better once again.
Ironically, this is April, which was when I found out I had Thyroid Cancer 4 years ago. I currently have no trace of Thyroid cells anywhere in my body, which means in 12 months, I will have passed the 5 year mark, which means I can stop undergoing quarterly visits with my endocrinologist. The ironic part is once you pass the 10 year mark, life insurance companies will consider you risk free...but then the brain part came in, so I guess that's off. But at least I am cancer free, and that means a ton.

Last year I was diagnosed with having a brain aneurysm and some blood vessel displaysia which turned out to be some variation of Moyamoya, a rare brain condition. This is about my journey.
