We'll Start At the Beginning

Which is a very good place to start.

June 21, 2010. On Dad's birthday he woke up in the night with a terrible headache. He had a virus for a while, so we figured it had just moved in as an infection. But the dizziness and disorientation was troubling so he went to the doctor who ordered an antibiotic and an MRI.

June 28, 2010. Dad went in for the scheduled MRI, as the antibiotic had no effect on his symptoms. The news that came next startled us all.

Dad had a large tumor in his brain. The shape of an egg, but bigger.

That afternoon he was in the doctors office, an hour later the films were brought to Doctor Reichman, and an hour after that, he was brought into the emergency room to prepare for surgery.

Quite the day.
