For those of you who have been following my story, here is an update. I had my second completely clear Cat scan recently. I'm feeling pretty good,but still taking pain meds which make me feel a little groggy all day. I was not able to return to work as a toddler teacher but I'd been apprehensive about being around all those germs the children expose one to. I was able to get on government disability which is hard to do here in the U.S. I have always been an artist and have been able to do some watercolor lately. I still enjoy reading all of your posts to see how everyone is doing.
