Water-skiing still ok!!!

We took the boat out to Lake Mead near Las Vegas last week-end for the first trip of the season.

This was my first trip post my bout with a brain lesion in my cerebellum in Jan., and I found that my balance was fine. No problems at all.

I had the SRS procedure Jan 25, and the first post treatment MRI in mid April, and the lesion had decreased in size from the original 5 mm x 12 mm, to 3mm x 3mm. I'm hoping that my next MRI in July finds it all gone!

It is very reassuring for me to continue to find my life still continuing on with a great QOL and able to enjoy myself.

This week-end we're taking the motorhome out for a week-end near San Diego. The motorhome was a "someday" item that we decided to make a "now" item once I was diagnosed with stage 4 in Feb 2004.
