The Upcoming Surgery
Monday morning, at something like 6 a.m., I'm having surgery to correct an problem caused by my pituitary tumors. If I were childless I'd gladly post before-and-after pictures of the whole thing on the chance that the information I provide might help someone else down the road.
As I do have children, I've decided to opt out of posting photos. For those of you new to this blog, I'll just say I have a bit of gynecomastia caused by a hormone disorder that, itself, is caused by pituitary tumors.
The pituitary is one of the body's mystery glands with the primary mystery being just where the hell is it?
It is just behind and mostly between the eyes, which, makes it a brain tumor.
I say the brain tumor part as twice in the past several months when the subject has come up I've had people tell me that if I were to mention I had a brain tumor to women I'd get an incredible amount of action -- where action means exactly what you think it means.
The most interesting part of this is that one of the people telling me I'd get an incredible amount of action was, in fact, herself, a woman, and I'd like to think she has the inside track regarding what women think.
I'm just not sure. I think that having a cool car might be a better way of getting an incredible amount of action.
(And I sometimes suspect that even women don't have a clue as to what other women are thinking.)

Good Luck Delmer. I sure I speak for all your real and cyber friends wishing you a uneventful surgury and a speedy recovery.
Love,

Thank you Pratts. Hey, do you know, off-hand, if this surgery is likely to do anything about reducing the number of floaties I have?

Had the cool car once. Didn't do much for me in the way of action. Maybe it was juts me. Cash and "shipping off to war" are 100% guarantees or your money back. I think tumors are a bit iffy though I am certainly no expert on what women think. Good Luck on the surgery. Hope all goes well.
AllTheBest,
Rob
