    About Me

    I like to help people and to make them smile. I love to joke around and I love having friends. I am a brain tumor patient 30 years this year. I have some hearing loss and vision loss as a result of my tumors, but things are stable.

    Interests

    Solving problems, automating things that are boring. Taking pictures of people and mostly the beach. I love the beach. Some politics, some history of military. Law, medicine. Having friends. Making movies and music. Listening to Journey, Tim McGraw, David Allen Coe. Many more. My cat Bootsie. The beach (just look at my web page!)

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      I was in what i thought was a beautiful relationship for the last 12 years. And then a month ago, I made a remark that I deeply regret now. Since that time my girlfriend has not talked to me. She won't answer my calls, email, or the door. I was blind sided by this sudden turn in our relationship. I won't say I was perfect, but I love my friend and cherish her deeply and would never do anything intentionally to hurt her in any way. We have had other problems like everyone else.

      Treatments

      Forgiveness Not Working
      I am a forgiving person, but it's now out of my hands. I am waiting and hoping that I have not lost my friend.
      Love Not Working
      There is no communication right now. No response from my friend. All of a sudden I don't exist.
      Reading Somewhat Helpful
      At least to help me understand, I read through Lost Love. It has some great insight, but I can't make it work without my friend.
      Time Too Soon to Tell
      It's already been a month with no word. I honestly hope that time is all that my friend needs to wade through the confusion and hurt that i caused.

      Type: Meningioma

      I am a very experienced person of Meningiomas and the aggressive treatment and living with them. I am a success story.

      Treatments

      Chemotherapy Working / Worked
      I have been on a chemotherapy drug for 10 years now, and it appears to be working.
      Gamma Knife Working / Worked
      Not real sure whether this treatment worked or not, but I like to think it did. I am a survivor.
      Surgery, Brain Working / Worked
      I have had invasive surgery twice and liked this the least because of what it did to me. But I am still okay. The surgery worked but it has some risks and complications.
    • Open Hearing Loss & Deafness
      Type: Sensorineural (Mild)

      My friend (maybe former) has a profound hearing loss. But now I am slowly losing my hearing because of tumors on my auditory nerves.

      Sign Language Working / Worked
      I learned sign language so that I could communicate with my friend. I love the language. Now I use it to sing to you ...
