I have a few different "conditions" but the brain/neck stuff is related to chiari malformation. I have a connective tissue disorder that is the root cause, and the collagen (glue) that holds our bodies together is failing, so my joints, organs, etc is more lax than normal. So in the past 4+ years I've had both first ribs removed, brain surgery, skull to c2 neck fusion, and now a styloid removed in my skull/jaw. In a few months the left one will be removed as well. I will have more surgeries in the future, likely more brain/neck surgery as needed. It's been a journey, but I am better than some, and grateful to live in a country where I can travel for specialized care.

Had a bone removed called a styloid. Pressing on cranial nerves and jugular vein/carotid artery. Had my 3rd ICP (intracranial pressure) bolt to monitor the pressure in my skull. In March or early summer I will go back to NY and have my left side done and another bolt to continue to monitor my pressure.

Agreed. It’s how I look at many things after the past 4 years of my health (just came back from NY after another surgery). Get out and enjoy life, nothing is guaranteed!

Anybody priced used diesel pickups lately? Prices are just as absurd as sleds!

I flew into Philadelphia Monday for surgery in New York today, to avoid NY restrictions, how quickly things change!

I’ve been looking at the mini as well, plus it’s much cheaper! Tired of these large iPhones.

Same can be said for Hillary in 2016.

Kanye 2024!

It’s the year 2020, we can send humans to space, vehicles drive themselves, airplanes can land themselves, yet we still can’t find a universal voting system for every state? So what is your idea for a “better” system.

Lost my mom to PSP 2 years ago at the age of 63. Don’t wish that disease on anyone!

Is it possible she is laying the ground work to oust Biden and put Harris in should they win?

I'm sure he will get a % if Rittenhouse wins civil cases.

It will pale in comparison to the 20 million (12 from city, 8 GoFundMe) for Breonna Taylor, and 14+ million Floyd's family has made from GoFundMe already, plus once the family settles with the MPLS police department.

That video shot on an iPhone 2g? Almost the same quality as finding Sasquatch/Bigfoot!

Jimmie Johnson headed for Indy car next year. Should bring in a few more fans.

Exactly the same open wheel guys I watched growing up (Mario was getting old though).

https://www.espn.com/racing/nascar/story/_/id/29853350/nascar-driver-bubba-wallace-leaving-richard-petty-motorsports-season NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace will be leaving Richard Petty Motorsports after the 2020 season, he announced on social media Thursday. "This was not an easy decision as I have nothing but the utmost respect for Richard Petty and his family, but I believe it's time for someone else to take over the reins of the No. 43," Wallace said in a Twitter post. "Thank you to the King and everyone at Richard Petty Motorsports for giving me the opportunity to start my Cup Series career. I've grown so much as a driver and as a person since joining them. We've got nine more races together, and I hope we can finish the 2020 season on a high note." RPM said it will announce a new driver "in the near future." Wallace has yet to win a Cup race during his three seasons driving for Petty.

Seeing more and more Tesla’s/electric cars at car shows, still an unusual site for me!

Are you sure a bar/restaurant is a wise investment for your health and sanity?

We have great luck with Michelins on our semi's, so don't rule out Michelin!

How do you like the truck? I've had my eye on a 3/4 ton (prefer 1 ton) at the local dealer with the 6.4. Basically stripped work truck, but still would go from a-b!

Headed for a mall near you!

I'm very proud of the Minnesota Golden Gophers having an undefeated 2020 football season!

Better luck next year! The financial implications of cancelling football has to be devastating to a University.
