Hello all! –bear with me, this might be long-
I know a lot of you have heard by the grace of God that I am much better. We appreciate all of your prayers and support over the past week. I am doing so well that after the surgery or on Sunday I asked if I could go home. I guess because I let it slip about having double vision, that they decided to keep an eye on me for a couple more days. They should of told me to get up and start walking and I would of probably been discharged on my 2nd day after my surgery. Silly me, I had to figure this out. I started walking and Monday I walked all over the hospital and visited with everyone involved in helping me the week before. I thanked them, gave them hugs and shared my appreciation for their care while I was sick. When I returned to my room, my vision cleared up and I realized that my blood just had to get moving for my vision to repair.
It's been an awesome week!!! I came to the understanding that God's will was best for me when this whole thing began… I understood the reality of my situation at the beginning and then just took things one step at a time from that moment on. Things didn't totally make sense to me but I just knew His will would be best, even if it meant I wasn't going to make it through this whole ordeal. Now, what I didn't realize before the surgery that I realize now is that – WOW! -- I AM FULL OF ENERGY!! Evidently the condition of my previous shunt increased my fatigue level much higher over the past year. Now, I can't even close my eyes and go to sleep anymore!!! What an adrenaline rush! I am so energetic compared to where I was, just another great reason I am grateful for this recent challenge.
Now, I have been told I look like Bruce Willis, with my shaved head, and if I grew a goatee, I could make an impression. I have never had a goatee before so it would be kinda funny to go back to work with a bad look about me, and having a few scars on the back of my head I am sure I could raise a few eyebrows…LOL
But the main reason I wanted to make this post was to share with y'all how much it means to me that my wife has friends like you that have given her support this past week. I have read the posts from all of you and I am amazed at the support system you have here on iVillage. We are very blessed and especially blessed to have friends like you.
Thank you
Kyle

Oh Kyle, I was so happy to see this this morning. You have no idea how hard my husband and I prayed for you!! I am THRILLED that you're doing so well. You're my hero right now.
And BTW, I love Desiree to death. She's amazing! I am so blessed to have gotten to know her, and become her friend. She's supportive, caring, warm, smart, funny, I could go on and on. I consider her one of my best on-line friends. I have this happy little fantasy that someday she, you, me and my DH can all go out on a double date for dinner and finally get to meet each other in person.
Again, your post is an answer to prayer!! I'm so happy for you.

Kyle, your post brought tears to my eyes. I am relatively new to this board, but am so happy to be here for the support. I am so happy to hear you are doing so well! Your family deserves the best. I hope you continue to feel better each day. Maybe the Bruce Willis look is a good one for you LOL!!
