BIOGRAPHY
I have always wanted to write a book. Now, in retirement, I have been able to do that, and I have something important to write about-- In 2000 and 2005 I underwent two surgeries to remove a "benign" brain tumor. My memoir is titled"As long as I'm down here, I might as well put on my shoes." I chronicle the ups and downs of my journey, and the mistakes I made. I trusted too many medical people who weren't listening to me. My character arc involves finding the courage to speak up-- just as my voice got weaker due to the surgeries.
There is also a love story, because my husband of 53 years was by my side.
My story is also laced with humor.
