'I could never get the hang of Thursdays."

Name that quote!

Okay, so, here's the deal.

I found out on Tuesday that my boyfriend of just over a year has a brain tumor.

Yeah, I know.

What happened was this: He had gone to the doctor over winter break to go back on his ADD medication. While he was there, he told his doctor that when he stands up, he frequently gets dizzy and has to wait a minute before his vision clears. Not that worried, they did some blood work and an MRI, just in case. Well, much to everyone's surprise, they found a tumor. Its made his brain swell so he's on medication to make that go down, and on Tuesday he's going for another MRI. Then on wednesday he's having a biopsy to find out if the tumor is malignant or benign, and if possible, they're going to go ahead and do some surgery to see if they can get some, if not all, of the tumor out. Fortunately, the tumor is in a part of the brain that usually heals quickly and normally, and the only thing it could affect is his basic motor skills, which can be re-learned through therapy if needed. No affecting his speech or movement or mental capacity, thank god.

So that's what we know right now. Its been a rough couple of days, and any thoughts/prayers/good vibes/whatever you can send our way would be much appreciated. I plan to keep blogging as much as I can, and I'll let you guys know what happens.

I don't mean to bring your days down or anything, sorry. I just thought you all should know in case I go missing or something.

Anyways, I hope you all have a great weekend, and I plan to see you next week.
