Was it Couldwell or Randy Jensen that worked on you?

I think keeping moving and walking and everything helped keep my body up and shit flowing through.

Stayed totally overly hydrated through the whole process as well, which I think helped a lot.

Didn't drink any alcohol (except for last night - as I was celebrating my coming off my chemo/radiation with this ****ing smoking 23 year old red head and wanted a bit of a drunk on). Don't smoke, don't do drugs. Eat pretty clean all the time. (Except for that yearly McRib fest.) I also have the constitution of a draft ox.

It all helped I think.

I hear they have a solid department. My good friend at Ohio State Neurosurgery raved about their program.

Worked full time through the whole deal (including a lot of 11+ hour days) and never really got hit with fatigue or nausea. (I did take the week of Thanksgiving off to spend it with my daughter.)

Incredibly impressed with the Neurological Acute Care unit at the University of Utah hospital. Very professional and knowledgeable. Follow up with the people at Huntsman as been equally good.

As shitty as this deal is, their professionalism and competency at all levels has been superb and has made this procedure much easier.

After the radiation and chemo?

I approximate 1034.

Drivers license says 48.

The 23 year old I was banging last night thought I was 30.

Somewhere in-between I imagine.

Curious as to what their name is. I had my 2nd tumor removed there in August.

You can PM.

Edit: If you do not want to give out that info, I understand.
