Actually, they're going up through my right nostril. No incisions and minimal drilling through bone! I have a ton of confidence in this surgeon so I'm sure I'll be fine. I just can't wait to get it over with!

Good to hear. All the best, speedy recovery. I await the news afterwards.

Good to hear, Hope your recovery is fast. Same sort of thing happened to my grampa he was hit in the head with a hammer and they found a timor while giving him a cat skan. Our prayers are with you.

I got back from LA early yesterday morning! The surgery on Monday appears to be successful! Good thing I went to LA to see this surgeon because when he went in he found a tail on the tumor that had invaded a dangerous part of the brain that would not have been visible w/ the other method and was not visible on the MRI and was also removed successfully. It's too early to say if I'm cured but the surgeon thinks that I am. I can't do anything for 3 weeks and then can start slowly returning to activities. I'm hoping to get on the skates in 6 weeks. I can't wait! Thanks to everybody for their support. It's been a rough 2 months and it looks a lot better here on out!

Congrats on the successful surgery, hope you have a speedy recovery. BTW whats gear do you have left from the Detroit stuff, maybe a repost with the remaining sticks would help move the rest of them. Did you sell all the Datsyuk Sicores????
