I am going to talk about the present today, I'll continue my story next time.
I have a Halloween party to go to tonight. I am going to go as a brain surgery patient! I got a hospital gown from my doc and I bought a wig and a plastic brain and a skull cap. I am going to attatch the wig to the skull cap and then I am going to cut a whole in the wig, a flap like the one in my head and the brain will be underneath. Its gonna be great! I am only going to know a few people at this party so I think it will be easier to put people at ease about what I have been going
thru if I make fun of it. At first I thought, its Halloween maybe for one day I can be anything BUT the brain surgery patient, but unfortunately I have a side effect from the surgeries that is obvious to everyone, a weak leg. I still walk with a cane. And I feel bad meeting new people because they always ask what happened to my leg, not expecting to hear that I have brain tumors. This way we can all laugh about it.
And the doc expects me to get full use of my leg back, but until then I have a constant reminder of what I have been
thru this year. Its
ok though, I get around fine, and I have fun with the canes. I have many. I just made one for Halloween. I bought a black aluminum cane and decorated it with Halloween stickers and such. Its a big hit. I also have one with pink roses, a red and black marbled one, blue and black marble, one that looks like white fur with black spots on it, a black one with a skull handle, a silver one with paint splatters and a wooden handle, and a black one that I put smiley face stickers all over. Plus I am going to make one for Christmas.
That's it for now, I have more work to do on my costume. I'll let you know how the party went. Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween!
