Brain Tumor

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.

Are you sure they removed the tumor?

I would hate to think they actually took the brain and left the tumor, though I doubt that would make much difference in the IQ department.

Okay, just giving you shit, cause you're one of the better dumbasses around here.

That's how it's done now. I had it on a Wednesday last month, and I was released the following Friday.

My brother was convinced that the meatwad was going to have a tooth and an eye. My twin that just stayed up there.

40 staples to the dome and some nice Steve Carrell patches on the chest from the ekg stickies. Holy hell! Jaw feels like it's broken and I am tired as hell, but at least I'm able to get some actual REM sleep which wasn't happening in the hospital.

You're a rock star and an inspiration Big Meatball. Just knowing that someone else just went through this shit helped a ton. And I appreciate all of you people. Like I said, this place is family and the heartfelt well wishes were very much appreciated.

Thank you all of you, and we got this shit this year.

Glad you're on the mend, Sacc. Stay the course and get all healed up.

And for ****'s sake, tell us you finally gave in and got blown in the hospital.

I begged the nurses to shave my chest before they slapped those damned things on me, but they hemmed and hawed about it. I woke up with several more stuck to furry places. Damn it. I hope you're done with the worst of it and are well on the way to recovery. 40 staples... eesh. I had 10 and it was bad enough since they were on my gut.

40 staples? Holy shit. I only had 22 sutures this time. I had staples last time, I don't remember how many.

Thanks, Sac. Glad you're doing well. My jaw is sore up near my right ear. The incision runs right through where the 'hinge' is. I suppose that's normal.

Do you still have any inflammation near the incision?

Fortunately, I'm not too hairy on my chest, but my arms have plenty.

Taking the tape that secured the IVs were a bitch coming off.

Yeah, I'm super excited about having some noobie nurse with a pair of pliers yanking these staples out in a couple of weeks.

I don't feel like there is a lot of inflammation, but it's starting to itch a bit, and that's not a good thing.

I'm going to go with that I took a tire chain to the head while taking on a gang of Klan biker rapists.

You know what I really need? Another blow job. Where is that girl in my time of healing needs?
