No thanks ever needed. I'm just happy that everything went as well as it did. Yes, the aches might have been much worse than anticipated, but no vision loss, and it's incredible that no deficits are apparent after such a resection!

It's absurd how distracted we get, and how this strips away what isn't substantial. That's one thing those costs are buying. I've been given a perspective that I didn't have, and won't soon forget. We definitely did get that out of this.

We are going forward, brother! We have more to create, and that is an awesome thing.

Thank you, Jeff.

Brain tumors have an incredible way of getting a person's attention. It's hard to ignore seizures and other involuntary actions. Quite the opposite of creativity as we speak of it. It has though, spurred on some creative endeavours to continue my life and revealed a convergence of creative thinking than I would have previously not predicted to exist. The possiblilities of what I imagine can be accomplished within our lifetimes seems to have very few limits as far as those nasty glioma brain cells gone wrong are concerned. Nasty little bastards if you ask me. I expect they'll get what's due to them eventually. I look forward to contributing where I can.
