My brain isn't working yet nor are my fingers. I want to thank everyone for their prayers, good thoughts and wishes and say how humbled and thrilled I was to see all the messages of hope when I logged back on. With all the support you've sent and your prayers there is no way there could be any other result than I would be home again. Bless you all,
Toddy

Toddy!!!
You are living proof that miracles DO happen.It's been a L-O-N-G worrisome wait for your return.
Today is a Holiday For me.
Welcome Back my friend-You have been soooooo missed.Love,Betsy

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! What a wonderful surprise to see you back.......take your time and recover, but continue to check in and keep us posted on your progress...

You had so many people thinking and asking about you.

Thrilled to know you are back.

Take care,
janet

So Glad to see you back. Welcome Home! Do not worry about your brain or fingers....Many of us have the same problems. Ha!

Toddy you absolutely made my day, my week, my YEAR!!

You have no idea how many times I have thought about you, prayed about you, yes even cried about you. I am so glad to hear from you and know that you are getting your "bearings" back again.

I know first-hand how hard a recovery from brain surgery can be, and yours was much, much harder than mine.

A bit of advice, don't try to "over-do" it too quickly, even when you feel good. It's been over a year for me and there are still a few things that I cannot do as well, like bending over a certain way. And remember, it takes the skull about 6 months to "grow back together" again...

God bless you Toddy!

Mom, I love you so very much. You are the bravest, strongest person I know, and I am so thrilled to see you able to write to your friends on this board! As you know, I kept your journey private -- hoping, praying, awaiting the day you could decide to write it here. I haven't been on here for months, but I wanted to come and see the milestone of your first post since the night of June 3. Now I can delete my account here and let this be a private place for you to inspire others and be inspired by the other courageous people here. Words cannot begin to say how much I love you. How proud I am of you. How amazed I am by you. How grateful I am for all the people who have kept you in their prayers, my beautiful mother.

God bless you and your brilliant, beautiful brain!

Love,

T - your oldest daughter
