Just a little over two years (8/04/2016) after my brain tumor removal surgery (Craniectomy) benign tumor in the cerebellum area on the left side of my brain (size est. golf ball), I discovered information to help me with my healing. All my pre-surgery chronic pain and symptoms returned. There were numerous doctor visits to the different neurologists and E.R. visits. My research led me to seek alternative therapies to help improve the symptoms: Chronic Cluster Headaches, Cerebellar Cognitive Affective Syndrome (CCAS), and Acute Cerebellar Ataxia. My sixth neurologist eventually validated these diagnoses. I have experienced executive function impairments for the past six years, including planning, set-shifting, abstract reasoning, verbal fluency, and working memory, distractibility, and inattention. Language problems include my inability to use words in grammatical sequence, and often feeling as though I have the word on the tip of my tongue but cannot recall it. Deficits in spatial cognition produce my ability to process visual stimuli to comprehend relationships between objects (judgement of distances) and impaired visual-spatial memory. My personality changed manifesting as blunting of effect that cause me to have non-emotional reactions, risky behavior, poor decision-making, more argumentative and disregard for social subtleties that resulted in behavior that was not the Old Rhonda.

 

Six-year later, with a heart of resilience and the acceptance of my reimaged authentic self, I am so grateful. The Lord has placed a variety of people for support in my life. My family, friends, pastor/church members, clinicians, and even strangers have made a difference in my journey to recovery.

 

Trusting God, putting God first and taking control led me on a better path for my Healing, Restoration, and LIFE.
