12 August: An Update on the Video Call

AI artwork: woman sitting in a chair reading a book near an open window.

This is an update on my post The Video Call about my cousin’s operation for a large meningioma brain tumour. Oddly, I have two cousins in the past 8-months with this same diagnosis. Their doctors say it’s a coincidence.

Both of them had surgery with excellent outcomes. But no surgery is without risk. One cousin is receiving therapy for mild anomic aphasia (problems with word retrieval), and the other cousin has balance issues which is also being addressed. I’m happy to report that both of them are doing well.

      1. Oh, you don’t know how much I agree, M. Maybe one day we will share this story of mine.

        ( I understand now that the quote I used is misplaced; reacted to the word coincidence…too much sun/sea bathing. Please, forgive me.
        I have nothing to do with the Godsendstrialstotestus school of thought/belief)

            Well, that story is my story and true… that is why I haven’t written it. Although, since last August I have inserted bits in my ” fictional” ink.

  3. I am relieved that they are on the mend although with complications. It is maddening when our bodies betray us with illness. 😦 https://rolandyeomans.blogspot.com/2023/08/how-to-keep-on-with-your-novel.html
