    My Dad just had surgery to have a brain tumor removed and the tumor was the size of a grapefruit. Pretty horrifying actually....

    He is recovering really quickly, the doctor is super impressed. His brain is already starting to move back to fill in the space where the tumor was.

    Thanks everybody :)

    It has been really stressful but I think the worst is over now and he should be coming home tomorrow. His balance is all thrown off now because of all that weight that is now gone from one side of his head... but he is walking around so that is awesome.

    He really is... also, he is 75 years old, which is not young.

    I hope he makes a quick recovery. I saw your photos before in the random section. You look like such a wonderful, fun loving great person full of love and sunshine.
