Thanks, everyone, for the comments and prayers. By way of an update:
- The MRI will be April 3. This is a bit longer than I had hoped to wait, but what do you do? I should have results by the 10th.
- Upon getting over the sheer terror inspired by the words "brain tumor," I started doing some thinking and research. If something turns out to be bad, well, it just does, and we'll deal with that if/when it comes. But the fact is that this particular tumor is small, it's partially calcified, and it's in an easily operable place if that should become necessary. So, at the moment, there is no cause for panic.
- If the amount of tumor humor that has come out of my mouth in the last few days is any indication, I am a very warped individual.

Yes, but I thought we already knew that...
I'm praying FOR you and AGAINST the tumor.
I wouldn't say warped. I'd say ... unique.
Stacy we both have had
to deal with sarrow and devastation in our professional as well as personal lives and if there is one thing I have found to help me survive and keep my sanity is humor, as sick as it may sound at times, and laughter and close friends and family to lean on. You my friend are as warped as me and have the strength to over come anything,and if ya need bandana I have a purple Harley Davidson one :). Yes this is Mark from Glen
Stacey: I was just reading your blog regarding you possibly having a bt. You know me as digory on RLP, and you know my wife has had a bt for almost 11 years now (she is not doing well now.) I have done years of research on brain tumors, the options, ect. I am not a doctor, of course, but I have educated myself. Should the MRI confirm a bt, and if you want to visit about the options I've seen out there, as well as some of the top bt centers, please feel free to call me at 903-723-0260. If you get my answering machine, I'll call you back. My e-mail is troyall@embarqmail.com. You do live in a part of the country that has some of the best brain tumor centers in the world. Best of luck-I hope you take this as not meddling, but simply wanting to help a friend. You are in my prayers. Tucker Royall, Palestine, Texas
Wow... hadn't been by here in a while and was quite surprised at the last two posts...
Haha... tumor humor... even the fact that it rhymes is funny. Take that warped sense of humor and wrap it all around you!
Praying, of course.
Calcified? Is that a fancy way of saying "rocks in your head"? ;-)
You are in my thoughts & prayers. I miss chatting at RLP.
tumor humor=sign of mental health. Praying that this is just a mild speed bump in your journey. I'm not praying that this will be a growth experience for you (pun intended), or a deep spiritual experience. I hate it when people say stuff like that. Oh maybe, I should read the other comments before I post. Nahhh.
Warp-age is part of tumor humor, or so I've been told.
Thinking about you.
