That is definitely like being dealt a shit sandwich with no choice but to eat it. Hope she come up aces.

Not a doctor, but from what she described, it’s highly likely to be a benign tumor. Benign certainly doesn’t mean harmless when it comes to the brain, but it’s a damn sight better than malignant. Assuming that to be the case, if the surgery goes well, she should have every reasonable expectation of a full & normal life. My wife had something similar (slightly different location) six years ago, and she’s had no complications or problems since then. Anyway, wishing Kelly a highly successful surgery & complete recovery. Sending positive thoughts & vibes her way...

yeah, acoustic neuromas are non-cancerous. Very few people actually die from it. Still sucks to go through though, I bet. Hopefully her surgery goes well.

Looks like an awesome outcome so cheers to them but does anyone here want a surgeon that says the outcome will be 'God's will'? Getting that surgeon was probably the result of them being able to secure the best guy around unlike your typical Ins. policy. Not against religion in this post but predetermination isn't part of this.

God's will? Predetermination isn't part of Christianity.

That said, hope it's a minor setback and well wishes for mom and family.

Just checked. Not really a complication as much as her trying to tough it out and get off her steroid and pain killer meds early. Apparently now sorted so good news, overall.

Eph. 1:4 “Therefore you can safely infer the following: if he chose us that we should be hold, he did not choose us because he foresaw that we would be so” (Institutes 3.22.3). “To make faith the cause of election is altogether absurd and utterly at variance with the words of the apostle [Paul]” (Calvin’s Calvinism, 45).

His predetermination related more to the the foresight of scripture than it did to personal choices or free will. 'God helps those that help themselves' was not refuted. Oh, and I like chopped liver.

You guys are really going out on a limb wanting a young woman with children to live, very courageous of you guys, so enlightened. I'm with you guys 100%, just as woke as the rest of you.
Bad day?

So, she's lost balance on one side of her body. should turn out OK but will take a while before she'll be able to walk properly. Hope it all works out great.
