hey folks,
i found out late last week that i have a tumor on my brain (on the cerebellum). thankfully, it appears to be a benign mass (they told me the name of it and I'm not even going to try to type it" and is "easily" correctable with surgery. i met with a neurosurgeon this am and they say the location/size, etc. make it an easy target and there should be no long term effects and no worries of re-growth. surgery should be scheduled in 3-4 weeks and it should be a relatively quick recovery time (a couple of days in the hospital then recover at home for a few weeks)
its been a hell of a few days since the "mr 92tide, you have a tumor on your brain and you need to immediately get an mri and schedule a neurosurgery appointment" talk i got after my ct scan thursday morning. all things considered, things are looking good right now.
i was talking with my best friend yesterday and he suggested that this is a sign that i should start cooking meth and become a kingpin ala walter white. i got a good laugh out of that.
prayers and good thoughts would be appreciated, especially for my dear wife who has had to deal with too much major medical crap since our daughter was born.
