The Book Sheryl Crow Needs to Read

Anyone listening to or reading the news probably knows by now that singer Sheryl Crow has a Meningioma, the very form of benign brain tumor that almost KILLED me!

What are the odds that she'll avoid future complications NOT being addressed in this news item? I'd say low unless she has a far more astute neurologist and neurosurgeon on her medical team. The doctor quoted in this article makes dismissive comments, as if Meningiomas were as harmless as freckles. True, some people get past their Meningiomas easily. But others face deadly implications. Readers need to know that:

•  Meningiomas tend to come in pairs 
• Crush nerves 
• Cause cognitive, vision, balance, hearing and other problems. 
•  One Meningioma can hide behind the other and not be detected on MRIs
• Necessary surgery or Stereotactic Radiation treatments can cause secondary problems
• The potential for further, crippling damage to the person with the hidden tumor is BIG 
•  Meningiomas can cause death
  
  
  What a waste of an opportunity to educate the masses, FOX News. 
  
  
  For some of us mortals, Meningiomas can present life and death situations.

  
  
  That's a medical CRISIS worth crying over.
  
  
  
  
  

A medical crisis - you'd cry too, if it happened to you. Use your tissues and handkerchiefs with my blessings borne of experience. GOD gives you Permission to Weep. And you can say that to any critics after explaining that "It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To." Show them page 5 of the book to prove your point.




The Baltimore Sun did a better job of presenting an overview of Meningiomas at Brain Tumor Facts.

Sorry for the delayed post. I messed up one of my feet by falling over a child's toy at my neighbor's home. Going to the doctor takes time... One of these days I might build up the nerve to tell you why Super Glue makes a helpful addition to a doctor's medical toolbag. sigh...

Ah, well, at least my blood pressure is usually within admirable range, even if my feet are not. Here's why your blood pressure should be, too:

High Diastolic BP Linked to Cognitive Problems

Yes, it's a rather dull article. What it means, though, is that making a habit of being happy and not needing blood pressure medication actually lets you think more clearly.

Hmm... Stress = Messed Up Minds = Less Brain Power.

Read Steven Covey's

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Readers, you are what you choose to be.

Fate, issues, relationships, and all the rest do NOT force you into a specific mindset.

You choose what to think and how to behave.

That reality is how I saved my own life. You'll learn how to mimic what I did when the updated edition of my book debuts. My plan is to coordinate publication with Labor Day Weekend (my original goal).

Cope to the best of your genuine ability,
