A bout three years ago I went through sergy for a tumor of the brain stim. It left me with a lot of disibilitys because they had to cut a lot of the nerves. I have over come some of the disibilitys a little bit. There is a couple that I haven't been able to over come at all. I dont think that it changed me mentaly except some times I get to fealling sorrie for myself. But then I thank of all the people that are worse of than me or the ones that didn't make it at all. But my wife and famely think differentley. My wife left me a couple of mounths ago. She said she had all she could take because of my sergery. I guess that I can't blame her,because of of my aflection is I can't swoller so I can't go out any more like we use to. I have to carrie a spit cup all the time and it would gross other people out. But I stell love her very much and I miss them all. Gary.
