1-year post-op MRI

It’s snowing today and everything is covered in a fluffy blanket of powder.  Typically, I wouldn’t venture out (other than to go to and from the bus stop) but my MRI was scheduled for 9 AM.  Glad I didn’t have to drive far – though 4-wheel drive worked splendidly.

The scan took about an hour and I walked out with the disk of my images in hand.

I took a look at the scans when I got home.  Obviously I’m not a radiologist, but I didn’t see the same tumor blob as on my last scan.   The sinus infection I had during my first scan cleared up nicely as well – ha!  (The right side of my head is on the left side of each of the images below.)  I was able to see some of the titanium mesh that was screwed into my skull as well as what I believe is the fat plug they took from my belly to fill the space left by the tumor.  I will, of course, wait for “official” word from my surgeon that things look ok, but for now, I can wait patiently and not feel anxious.

For reference, here is the post with images from my first scan where Norman is clearly visible.
