Hey Jeff, I know Brady likes to be the pioneer, but this is not one of those things he would like to have followed. :) Praying that all will go well. The good news as I know your neurosurgeon will tell you is that since it is not true Brain cancer, it is not interwebbed in the brain tissue. My thoughts will be with you during this procedure.

Jeff, I really appreciate you wanting to follow in my footsteps, but this is really disappointing that a lot of us are having set backs in the last few weeks. Sharon found this web site that has details of what to expect as far as recovery.
http://www.neurosurgery.com.au/pdfs/pos ... anipdf.pdf. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember everyday is a gift. The surgery is tough and you will have side effects, but you can work through it. Although I feel pretty good the neurological issues are pretty hard and taking more time than I want. But I am not the most patient person in the world when it comes to recovery. :lol:

Hey, this is Brady I just wondered who for the Seelos Center this is? Since I have often mentioned his devotion to other, just wondered.
