Azza (Aaron)

[Ted]

Great news.
We got Aaron's test results back today and it was a low grade (benign) tumour they removed. He will need no further treatment other than regular scans every 6 months in case of regrowth.
He is still in hospital however and has permanent loss of all peripheral vision in his left eye and blurred sight in both eyes (which should be temporary). He still has a massive headache with a 12cm scar with 19 stitches. He has lost several kilos since being admitted, but has started to eat better and can now walk short distances without losing his balance.

All going well he may be home Monday!

Hey, how is Aaron going a month on??
I hope all is well and he is recovering quickly....

 

[Ted]

Thanks for asking. 

Aaron is doing very well considering what he has just gone through. We have to take him back to Sydney to see the Neurosurgeon on Monday (it's also when he will find out if he can play footy this year or not). So far he shows no ill effects from the surgery other than a major loss of vision in his left eye. 

 

[jiggles]

Great to hear he's doing so well!

I hope he gets the all clear for the footy season!

Great to hear he's doing so well!

I hope he gets the all clear for the footy season!

Took Aaron to see his neurosurgeon today and he strongly advised Aaron to never play any kind of contact sport. He may suffer a cerebral haemorrhage if he has a hard knock to the head by either a ball or another player. Needless to say he isnt too happy about it.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Best thing is that he is here with you mate - sad for him that he cant play a contact sport (assume that means cricket too?)

Golf makes a lot of $$$
