Well has been 3 surgeries since the last time I talked to any of you! I'm still alive and have another hopefully only 1 surgery to go and be done. In a nutshell they are going to plant a chip in my brain so that small electrical jolts or something like that can moderate and hopefully completely stop the micro seizures. They do a last check on the 15th so I might be down again starting then if needed they tell me to expect it to be 30-45 days from then for it to happen.

One thing that has been bugging me badly, of course I cannot remember details, I owe my part of a trade to somebody?? If you get this shoot me a message and LMK where and what I owe would like to take care of this Monday if possible.

That's about it for me haven't been able to smoke a cigar for 8 months now but will start again after this next stage. Hope everyone is well in case I don't get a chance Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you my friends.

Ya I did try there for a bit to be around but with not being able to smoke and haven't bought a cigar in over 8 months it kind of killed me. Good news is that I have had all the time in the world to make sure that every single one of the over 8,000 cigars that I already have did nothing but get perfect aging conditions.

The chip they are putting in is about a 50/50 Dr. order and elective. What it is the damage that I had done to my head in the crash left some spots where there were cracks in my skull that have built up calcium over the past 3 years. Combine that with the scar tissue that I got on both frontal lobes has swollen over those same years. It sound like there is just a ton of pressure but there really isn't. When your dealing with the brain the Neuro Docs talk in micro and mini but there is the smallest pressure change when you add everything up. So, what that does is gives me what they refer to as MICRO Seizures while I sleep. Nothing that is going to kill me thus the elective part but with me only being 46 they don't like it and they are trying to predict and prevent any future issues. The strongest reason they have for the recommendation is that if it's implanted NOW when there isn't all that much negative activity it will heal VERY fast. The procedure actually becomes riskier with more activity so put it in place NOW and IF there are bigger problems later they already have the device implanted with 0 complications to take care of it.

Well there was more info than most of you probably wanted!

And you know what Toby I like that CYBORG! Seeing how I used to post about 300-400 times a month but I have been less that 700 away from being a GURU for over 2 YEARS now when I get a good month or so to get those done I think CYBORG CIGAR GURU is a good one  :meansmoke:
