So, that shit is fun.

Started having some really cool and powerful deja-vu at work on Tuesday, then a strong ominous feeling set in and then started seeing small, flashing rainbow colored lights under the brim of my hat. Figured that it was either a premonition about an earthquake (like animals get) as Salt Lake City sits on a fault line, either that or I was hitting a major fatigue wall as I had been working long hours and had been hitting the gym pretty hard while not getting as much sleep as required in addition to cutting carbs from the diet. Anyway, I got a little freaked out, went to the bakery, grabbed a croissant and detoured it and everything kinda went back to normal.

Later on, started getting the deja-vu again (and it was super good shit - like I was seeing the future and shit - and it even had a soundtrack going along with it), and that's about all I can remember. Apparently I turned to the guy next to me, said something about tripping my balls off massively and told him I was going to puke, then my eyes rolled back into my head and I passed out and hit the floor like a sack of potatoes.

Came to with the EMT dude holding a ice pack to the back of my mellon on a huge goose egg. They were going to call an ambulance to take me to the ER and I told them it was nothing and I was fine. Fortunately the HR guy was standing there and convinced me to go to the ER. When I got there they did a CT scan to check for concussion probabilities.

Dude came back into the room with the radiologist and said "Um, bad news. There is a mass in the right side of your brain and we want to do an MRI for more detail."

"Well, shit."

So they did that and sure enough, there is a golf ball sized mass sitting there with a bunch of fluid around it. Nuerosurgeon (chief resident who looks like he's 17, comes in and says that they want to schedule surgery on Friday morning. Okies.

So, I'm sitting here in the Neurology wing of the University of Utah hospital (which is highly regarded) worrying about these guys going to the Utah/Michigan game tonight and coming back into surgery tomorrow hungover as shit.

Bonus is, I've had two really hot nurses in a row the past two nights. Tried to convince both to give me a leisure massage and body shampoo, but they didn't go for it though I had a girl from work come by last night to visit who wanted to give me a hummer.

Anyway, I'm feeling pretty fortunate that shit went down the way it did, because I most likely would have blown it off for ever until it became really bad. (Although, I am going to ask them if it's benign if they can just keep it in there because I was digging the deja-vu bordering on omnipotence.)

Also I hear that the chief neurosurgeon is totally old school and I think I saw him sharpening his hacksaw on a rusty pipe outside and telling the nurse that she should find his favorite spoon.

If I get 10 more years, I can deal with that because I'll at least get to see my son graduate college.
My aspirational goal back in 1993* was to outlive my dog (he died 10 years ago), to see my daughters graduate HS (the youngest is a freshman in college now), and to see the Chiefs win the SB. I'm worried that the Chiefs could finally do it.

* speaking of the Chiefs, I remember being in a hospital bed at the Mayo Clinic in 1994 waiting for a major surgery the next day, watching Joe Montana and the Chiefs lose to Buffalo in the playoffs. I never dreamed it would be over 20 years before they won another playoff game.

How do we know that you didn't die 20 years ago, and are now just a Zombie feeding on human flesh?

Kinda weird going from what I was feeling/considering the best shape of my life to having 1 to 4 years left on the meter in about a week and a half.

Side note, grocery store crowds at 4:00 in the afternoon are really weird. That's a strange group of people.
Well...heck. I don't know what to say, other than do whatever patteeu does since he seems to have it down.

Good luck to you, and we'll all hope for the best.

I'm not sure that's the best advice you could be giving. I'm doing something wrong or I'd be hanging out with all the stars like DaneMcCloud does.

Shit man. That reminds me again that my problems are little league.

The doctors numbers are averages I believe. And we've all heard of the guy that got the news and died a week later. Those dudes drag down the average. And every passing day they get better at treatment. Keep your head up man.

All the best. Seriously.

I am sorry to see the bad news you got. Hopefully, the docs are wrong. They do try to "cheer" you up saying that new cures are always being researched and something may happen in the next year, but that is a pretty thin straw to grasp at. I've gotten the same one myself with the liver cancer cures on the horizon. Whatever happens, live well and live well as long as you can.
