As some of you know I had a stroke and 3 subsequent brain surgeries in the last 12 months. My last brain surgery was an emergency hematoma evacuation with a 95% chance of fatal failure. I lived. Technically I'm out of the woods! I used to wake up seriously uncertain about my future. Now I have a chance at a future, and the potential to do something with it, like many others.

I'm going to share my weird ass shit here from now on, mostly. I have some pretty funny things that have happened in the last year.

I'll try not to tell you stories more than once, it happens.

Food is a problem for the post tbi brain. (Traumatic Brain Injury)

Everything I once ate has a chance at being horribly bad. (Donuts)

Some things I never ate have a chance at being good. (Pancakes)

Good steak of all types remains very good. Thank god.

But it is strange to have your prior conceptions of food turned upside down.

Playing pinball after the stroke and the 3 brain surgeries was an absolute bitch.

Playing my favorite game at a friends house attack from Mars in ealy summer I was met with pain and frustration while I struggled to find that Magic I once felt. It was gone. Playing "hurt" so to speak.

A short while back I was able to go pinballand in OC and I played 1game with 3others and scored 1.5 billion. I won the round.

It was very good to not have my favorite game become my least favorite. Things get better.
