As of today, it has been six months since I had the series of seizures revealing my brain tumor. I have not had any more seizures since then, so I am officially allowed to drive again! 

Here are some other highlights since my last journal entry in late July:

• My mother's health is much better. At her last appointment a couple of weeks ago, her doctor said she should "thank God" for how well she is doing and that she may even make a full recovery from the illness that beset her shortly after my brain surgery.
• I started back to teaching my full load of private students the second week in August, and I have been rebuilding my stamina as I enjoy teaching 17 delightful students (15 children and 2 adults).
• I have learned how to use Uber!
• The anti-seizure medication I have to take for 18 more months has been making me feel tired most of the time. But I called my neurologist today, and she gave me permission to reduce the dosage since I have been seizure-free for six months! Hooray!

My next big health milestone is getting another MRI in January of next year. I am also hoping to restart my adult piano class at the Tucker Recreation Center in January.

Thank you again for your support and caring. I hope to continue to be able to update you with good news.
