We
are now home and getting settled into our new routine. Becki's new routine is
focused on getting healthier and stronger one day at a time. Rod's new routine
is taking care of Becki's every need. We are slowly getting acclimated back to
Oregon's weather after having had endless days of sunshine in California.
The
surgery was a success and it was great to say goodbye to the bubble. Since the
surgery, Becki's eyes have been dilated and she has sensitivity to light. As her
future remains bright, she continues to wear shades. Becki also experiences some
double vision and blurriness but all her eye symptoms are expected to gradually
improve with time. In the mean time, Becki has great difficulty reading emails or
responding to them.
The surgeon told us that having brain surgery is a bit like being hit by a Mack truck. Becki's body is busy trying to heal from that event. She is recovering as expected at this time. We are very optimistic for an excellent recovery, but it will take some time. Becki may not be on the ski slopes this year, but she is already thinking ahead to next ski season.
Thank you to everyone who offered encouragement and support to us while we were in California. It felt like you were along with us on our journey. We would especially like to thank Uncle Chuck and Nancy for all they did for us during our time in California.
Thank you both for the update!! I've been patiently waiting and wondering how all is going now that you are home. We'll continue to keep you in our thoughts for an excellent recovery, taken one day at a time!! Just love Becki's smiling face! It says it all! Much love to you both!
ReplyDeleteThat was strange because I was just thinking about Becki and the blog when my email went "beep". Glad to hear everything is progressing well. We think of you often.
ReplyDeleteLoving thoughts ........
So happy you are home and recovering! I miss seeing you at work but take your time, get well and think ahead to the slopes for next season. You wouldn't like the powder anyway this year ;)

ReplyDeleteHi Rod and Becki,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the positive update. It looks like you have a nice furry friend to help with the recovery. Let us know when you ate up to a phone call or a visit. Love to you both, Pattie Anne and Bruce
Thanks for the update, we've been wondering. Glad to hear Becki's home safe and sound for her recovery. With all of this fog around Eugene, I feel like I know what Becki's blurriness must feel like. When the sun comes out for ALL of US...you, Becki, will be ready with your sunglasses already on! Hugs! from Pam & Bill
ReplyDeleteMy Zoey wants to know why Zoe isn't in the picture :)

ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean that it is Rod's "new" job to take care of Becki's every need?? Hasn't that always been his job all along?????? Sounds like someone has been a slacker all these years.....Never too late to learn I guess. LOLOL
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Becki!
