My Meningioma Story

---

In late 2017 I was diagnosed with a 4.5cm benign brain tumour called Sally. For three weeks as I waited for surgery, my brain was a little haywire. So I blogged about it as well as my recovery. I've put the posts in chronological order here on this page. 

Thankfully, after I had brain surgery and a few months of recovery I am somewhat back to normal. Whatever "normal" means.
