still alive chuck! meaner than hell too
on june 25 2005 i had an artery in my head blow up. a rare birth defect. i take no meds and have had six brain surgeries. i was in a coma and was life flighted. they told my kid i would die.
you will never ever be the same again. people will lie to you.you will you will also grow very weary of people being scared about your abilities you are get very tired of everyone saying how inspirational you are. trust in yourself and realize that the medical people know as much as you do.
find what works for you and try to realize the world is fraught with propaganda trying to get your money. lots of treachery out there!
