Hi, Lair'ites Sorry for being MIA for so long but I have been hit hard by real life events continuously for several months now, and have been unable to post. Though on occasion I did visit to see what everyone was up to so I would be able to gather ammo for planned attacks. Though that enterprise seems to have been put on the back burner for now. :)

Okay enough goofing around I just wanted to inform you guys that I am going to be scace for awhile. Not gone just not around everyday those that wish to talk with me, can PM me I have my settings configured so I will get email alerts as to when I get a message, and personally I could use the moral support the reason for this is provided below. This is a scary time for me, and I can't turn to my family as they need me to put on a brave front for them. Thank you for taking the time to read this.


My Dad had a seizure on Saturday Sept. 24, 2005, and the following week we discover he has a brain tumor so I haven't been able to hang out with my fellow Lair buds for awhile (chuckles). Though we were forunate we discovered the tumor was the size of a persons thumb-nail. However we have also discovered thanks to a biopsy that the tumor is a level 4 the highest grade (this is the one you do not want it is very agressive and nasty. So again I apploigize for my absence as of late, but family comes first.

Sorry to hear about your father. I hope he's able to beat this thing. Not too long ago, was the aniversary of my dad's death, 3 years ago.

My advice to you is to spend every second you can with yer family. You might not get another chance. I know this personally and would give anything to change it.

Good luck.

We'll be here when you return.

No need to apologize Welt, you've got serious family issues that have to take priority. We'll be here when all is well and sorted out. Give my regards to the old man, best wishes to him and your family.

Okay, I have some good news, for a change!

Anyway, it appears the hopital where my dads tumor was discovered was wrong about it's location. They thought it was deeper in the brain than it was. This is understandible as MRI's are very hard to read.

So, that brings us to what the people at Cleveland have discovered. My dads tumor appears to be on top of the brain pushing into more into the skull. So the good news is they can operate now and get that sucker out of his head after that they are going to treat him with radiation and keamo(sp).

Anyway things are looking up.

We'll take good news any day of the week. Best wishes on the surgery and his subsequent recovery treatment.

Amen to that. :beers:

Hey compadre's Update on pops. The surgery went great. The doctors were all estatic and upbeat about the surgery. He has just started treatments and the seem to be going well, But I will have to ask about it, my step mom probably knows. Any way I haven't had access to a computer for a week as I have been at my moms thats why I was MIA.

On a side Note after the surgery the doctors said the tumor had grown since the last MRI.

So It appears that we have dodged a bullet on this one.

And they say "The Matrix" wasn't educational.
