As you may recall from my last post, I had my fourth neurosurgery on the 16th of September. This time I had a complete hypophysectomy (they removed ALL of my pituitary gland). It was tough! I had a real hard time coming out of the anesthesia, feeling very rough and even throwing up several times. But thanks to a strong cocktail of painkillers and anti nausea meds, I was feeling "normal" within a few days. On the 20th of September, exactly 3 years since my first neurosurgery, my specialist nurse told me that my cortisol results had finally come back low enough to consider me cured. I was over the moon!!
By Saturday I was home and I thought this was the beginning of my road to recovery. Boy was I wrong...
