For those of you who have inquired

[cuda]

Today they started me on a regimine of steroilds
for my brain lesions. They must be working already. I fed the dogs.
walked across the street to talk to ny neighbor, went to the store, went to
the bank, all sans my cane. The only side effect's I've noticed is
irritablity, and upset stomach.

I sure feel both of them. :)
Joe

[ChiefApache]

I'm sure it's not easy cuda! Keep the faith sweetie. We'll keep you in our prayers. The steriods should increase your appetite too, which will be good for you.

[fund razor]

I didn't notice the upset stomach. ;) :D

Hope that you are feeling better soon Cuda!

[Wrinkleface]

back on top soon Dude!!!!:sifone:

[RedDog382]

Are they talking about surgery to remove the tumor at some point?

[cuda]

Are they talking about surgery to remove the tumor at some point?


I have two separate issues. the tumor (acousti neuroma), and the brain lesions. The nerologist thought that the acoustic neuroma would be too small to cause me to walk this badly, this quickly. Either way, if they shrink, I should have to go under the kinfe, or the gamma knife.

Doc said everone reacts differently to steroid, he said I might show signs of immediate relief.

I'm pretty sure it's not the placebo effect, if it is, I wished they'd make em taste better. They taste like chit! At least my tastebuds haven't been affected my dad said today. :)

[cuda]

Today has been an emotional rollercoaster for me, and I'm not like that at all. Happy as hell one minute, then blue, then mad!

I like happy better.:)

Hey, you take care. If you need me to talk to Wayne State, you know I will.

[BBB725]

Thanks for the update Joe.

[Perlmudder]

Keep the faith Cuda!
We are keeping you in our thoughts!

[Ted]

Joe, hang in there buddy, you can kick this thing's ass.

[LaughingCat]

Cuda,

I don't know you personally (yet) but talking with you is usually entertaining and sometimes downright colorful. After all, if everyone thought exactly like me, the world would be a boring place.

I hope this treatment works for you.

[Slick02]

Good luck Joe, I live close enough to you if you ever need anything let me know and I'll help out all I can, I live in Apopka and traveling 44 I can be in Deland in 45minutes. pm me and I'll give you my cell#

[45Sonic]

Will do. You forget how knittly tight the boating community is, but they are like family when you need them.

[cuda]

Much better today than yesterday. It may not sound like much, but I was able to feed the dogs, let them out, clean their room, gather them up, put them away, walk across the road to talk to Brady, pet his two dogs, get a plate of food from him (I'm eating up the world), all without the use of a cane. I actally picked my feet up to walk, instead of doing the catatonic shuffle.

We shall see, but all signs point good.

As long as I can be around to entertain you, I have a purpose in life. :)

If everyone acted like you, the world would be a ah, er, ah, ......a different place that I'm sure I wouldn't recognize.

Roger, we met once in Miami. You don't strike me as the kind of guy that quits a job because it's too tough. I guarantee I've never failed at anything due to lack of effort (if ya don't count my divorce 20 years ago :) )

It must be the steroids, because now I think I'm Hendrix!:26:

I can tell tomorrow is the first of the month.

I had three guys call me about money. I bet they don't make that mistake again when I'm taking steroids, and in a roid rage. Especially waking me up before my first coke of the day. :sifone::boxing_smiley:

Other than that, better than yesterday. Only four more of those chitty tasting pills today, then I cut back to five tomorrow. I can hardly wait.:)

I remember him. He was quiet man. I did sound for a show he did in Ohio about 10 years ago. They were more low key than any act I ever worked with. It was like they were all hung over or coming down or something.
They were good. Just odd. Like 6 or 7 of them hung around behind the stage the whole time at a festival and didn't really speak.

Another oddball backstage: Steve Smith from Journey. He was just plain whacko. I went to check on him before the show to make sure he had no PA needs or wants, and he acted like he was solving the mysteries of the universe and I screwed him up. He was such a knob I went directly to the console and hooked up a DAT deck that I had in the rack. You freak at me... I bootleg you. :)

Thanks Joe. Some people call it perseverence and some call it stubborness. Hell, I can't tell the difference. I guess that it really doesn't matter what it is as long as it sees me through. Life has a way of testing you and I have developed a philosophy to get me through. When you can't see your way to next week, just worry about tomorrow. When you can't see your way to tomorrow, just go hour by hour one hour at a time. There have been times that I did'nt know how I would make it another hour so I went minute to minute. This has gotten me through some of my darkest hours. Just put one foot in front of the other and keep the faith.

Looking forward to having a beer with you someday Joe.

Not really. At one point I would have three or four systems out a time.

I came out of retirement to mix a show a year or two ago. But I can't stay up that late anymore. :D

Did you look in my den? :D I had two full racks of outboard gear. :D

Yeah, but in the end, bbe on a whole mix is whack. BBE on a bass rig.... ok.
I think that it kind of came and went like a lot of phase shift type DSPs.

For a moment in time... I was the systems division manager at Paragon, I had a sweet studio downtown, had a bunch of rigs out, had great mixing gigs, solid on-hold messaging business and an acoustic consulting and church system business.

Sorry for the hi-jack Cuda. :)

It must be in our genetics.
Dad was a poor farm boy from West Virgina, but the wisest and smartest man I ever met. Dad said back when he and his two closest brothers were getting out of high school together, dad, and Charles pooled the money they made cutting timber off Grandpa's farm, gave it to Robert to start college. It was a good investment.

But he taught me a lot more life lessons. He say stuff like, "Boy, if you can't outmuscle it, you gotta outsmart it".

The only problem is I've been skinny all my life (120 at gradutation) and I'm getting fatter than a barnyard possum the past three days. I want to eat everything I look at, and I've never enjoyed eating. I always said that if I didn't get hungry, I'd never eat again.:)
