A Brain Tumour?

Brain tumors come in 2 forms: malignant & benign. The former is attached to the brain with all the blood vessels, rendering it a risky procedure. & the latter is detached. I was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor of 6cm, the size of a large orange! It is removed easily.
Last year, my family kept insisting my right eye was red, although my health routine was like clockwork. By the end of the year, I got slow & heavy, unlike my true self. At the end of January this year, a few embarrassing incidents occured & I knew something had to be done! While walking & carrying a light load, I tripped, fell & couldn't even lift myself up! I had to be helped. Soon after that, we were in a showroom & I lost control of my bowels! Even though I cleaned myself in the WC, I had stains on my clothes. It was embarrassing! I had to do something. So I went to see a Neurologist.
He conducted a series of tests, identified the tumour & referred me to a Neuro- surgeon. He requested my confinement until the day of the operation. It was supposed to be right after my negative Corona test. My 1st test read Positive. My 2nd test Negative. So, I had to take a 3rd one to confirm the 2 previous ones, & wait 1 more week to be booked. In all, I was confined home for 3 weeks, under a strict diet.
I usually post weekly to Medium. But I shall complete this Post during this coming week...to be continued.
