I just returned from a surgeons office and I have some bad news. I'm about to have to have brain surgery to remove a tumor. From the looks of things, I'll be going into surgery in the next few weeks and will be out of commission for the next 2-3 months. This tumor is the reason for my deafness in my left ear as well as my poor balance. If I don't do something about it, the next thing to go is my facial control on my left side. Also, It's pressing against my brain stem. This is not the news I was hoping to hear and I'm having a hard time handling it right now. I'm sorry if I'm being a downer, I'm just putting this out here as a way to express myself. I'm just trying to get it off my chest (or out of my head):rolleyes:. Later
