I'm home!

Hello Everybody,
I am home since Friday from the hospital. Had my brain surgery Aug.1st. I'm getting in home P.T.
I'm still recovering. My right side is still not the same. My right hand, shoulder, elbow, my right hearing. etc. i guess it will take a while. I will see my neurosurgeon today at 11am and also will re-start chemo Friday.
Thank you for the love and support.

Pls. excuse my typos.

Hugs,
Gemma
