Early merry Christmas and happy new years

Had a rough year with 8 surgeries to remove a meningoma tumor in my head. Had my head opened, my skull bone cut and replaced with a 3D printed plate. With multiple complications, looks like I’m going to have to go through this all over again. Just Incase I do not get a chance, I wanted to wish everyone here on the forum a merry Christmas and a happy new year. More than likely I will be out of commission for another 4 to 6 months. I really enjoy this forum getting my mind off what I’m going through by reading and talking about all the Rolex. If you have some times I would really appreciate a little prayers from you guys and gals. So Merry Christmas and Happy New Years everyone. Hope to continue coming to the forum and have a good time.

Eddie

I don’t pray much. Or at all.

But send you positive healthy vibes. Best wishes.

A tough spot, prayers a’plenty are clearly headed heavenward - and hope is your ally, too.
