WilliePreve: an update on my health since my surgery on my pitutitory gland

The surgery folks as you folks can remember was on December 10, 2010 at Tacoma General Hospital. The hospital as everyone can obviously be aware of is in Tacoma WA. Also, as I blogged shortly after the surgery, which was a success, that the doctors could only remove 50% of the tumor. The tumor was expected tobe as soft as toothpaste but it was unfortunately as hard as an orange rind. Thank God that the the tumor was benign though. Here is the problem though, according to my the specialist for the tumor, I speak in layman terms because that's how I talk and that's how I would want one to speak to me also. Anyway, the way that I understand the doctor is that since the tumor is still there abd that it is still effecting my thyroid gland and perhaps other body parts that can be a serious problem for me. The pituitory gland might interfere with the functioning of some of my organs an other things. I have had some health issues that have plagued me believe it or not for most of my life and I am 58 years old. I am going to have to have to go through a battery of tests perhaps for weeks, which at first upset me when I first learned about the situation. But you know, at first I was going to The Eastside Community Healthcare Clinic and after the doctor at that clinic learned of all the expences I had run up from all of the tests that the medical folks paid for my coverage she had a fit and told me to go to Urgent Care instead of the E.R. room the next time  have real bad  headache.  well got to go now. I may not be able to blog until next week because of all of the medical tests I got to have done and I might not feel to well either. Since I still have the tumor and other medica issues I don't feel well everyday. bye for now WilliePreve
