    brain
    I had brain surgery when I was 8 years old. It wasn't cancer I was hit in the head by a girl friend with a hammer. I went blind and my brain began to swell. They did surgery and I'm still here. This was back in 1958 when brain surgery was rare. My vision is fine today; my curly hair got shaved off which apparently got me the girls when I was 8; my wife said I was lucky because the surgery made more room in my head for my ego; and I learned never give a hammer to a girl friend. My point is today they are light years into what goes on in our heads and if needed they can do the job. If you lose your curly hair you still have the hat:) Lou

    WOW!
    Louis, I am glad this turned out okay; it sounds serious. I think you should read the poem by Eric38 posted by Ericsangel on how important it is to choose friends carefully.

    Can not believe it!
    I cannot believe that you call your wife such names and she is willing to drive you home from the hospital......but such good news to hear about that brainy thing.
