I do not have any facial paralysis or any other complications from surgery. My surgeries did leave me something, though, daily happiness and appreciation along with an incredible love for my family. As many other individuals with NF2 know, life is a day by day event. I cannot consciously change the rate of growth of my tumors, but I can certainly change the quality of my life. I am going to enjoy it while I can, at a pace that allows me to not forget about my past, nor allow me to forget where I am going.
Life is all about balance, a balance of love and life.
But if I keep worrying about what I am going to lose, I have already lost. I am much too stubborn to do that. Besides, the sun will probably be shining tomorrow. All Rights Reserved, Neurofibromatosis, Inc.
