And now…the rest of the story

Posted on 02. Feb, 2010 by Wes Comer.

Before I begin, I’ll quote Julia Childs in reference to failing to live up to one’s own expectations when cooking: “Never apologize.” So I won’t apologize for not posting since November of last year and leaving my faithful readers (both of you) hanging – but you can read into that statement what you will. :) [...]

About the past week…

Posted on 10. Nov, 2009 by Wes Comer.

Here’s a quick rundown of what happened over the past week and a half: On Friday, October 30 I went in to my local doc to have my staples removed. When the nurse (my super-awesome Mom) took out the second staple a bit of CSF (Cerebrospinal Fluid) leaked out from the incision. This is somewhat [...]

Hi. How Are You?

Posted on 28. Oct, 2009 by Wes Comer.

Just a quick update to commemorate my two-week surgiversary. Recovery has been going great, and although there’s really not been a lot to it, I thought I would fill you in on what I’ve been doing, what my prognosis is, and where I go from here. First of all, the surgery went fantastic (as we’ve [...]

Thank you

Posted on 21. Oct, 2009 by Wes Comer.

Today marks exactly a week from my surgery, and I as I look at the clock on my desk, I realize that I am a blessed man. To be sitting up, at home, in my own clothes with no tubes, needles, lines, nurses, or any other hospital apparatus around me while typing on my laptop [...]

Overwhelmed by the Blessings of God

Posted on 29. Sep, 2009 by Wes Comer.

Sometimes words just fail me. And sometimes words fail the situation – there are no words. I’ve been experiencing this more and more lately, in all the right ways. I hope you’ll bear with this feeble attempt to try and come up with some words, anyway. I woke up this morning to find that a [...]

Quick Update

Posted on 23. Sep, 2009 by Wes Comer.

For all who are wondering how I am, I just want to let you know that I’m feeling great. The problems I’ve experienced thus far have all been relatively minor, all things considered. I also just want to state, for the record, that I’m absolutely convinced that God is a good God, and a God [...]

Coming this fall…

Posted on 02. Jun, 2009 by Wes Comer.

Yesterday was a pretty full day. I had my first visit with the surgeon who’ll be performing the procedure at Vanderbilt, and his colleague who’ll also be performing part of the surgery. Here’s what I know: It’s an acoustic neuroma. We pretty much knew this going in, but it could also have been a meningioma. [...]

Neurosurgeon Visit

Posted on 19. May, 2009 by Wes Comer.

Yesterday I had a consult with the Knoxville neurosurgeon who originally looked at my MRI. This was really more of a formality than anything. He performed a physical exam to test my reflexes, balance, vision…basically making sure that all my neurological functions were still doing their thing. While I didn’t really get any new information, [...]
