Hey Punch.........I listen to music a lot when I'm on here. Always looking for new voices. Here is a sweet voice that isn't well known and it's a song that may apply to you:

Lyrics:

Quote:
On and on, hold on
Not broken in two; not you!
Like the seed, you grow
Under it all
Your roots take hold

Smooth out the creases
Then you'll see

And when you fall down in between them all
Here you are whole, not broken

On and on, hold on!
Not broken - just loose at the seams
Oh, no no! don't let go!
Just listen

Goodness increases
You will see

And when you fall down in between them all
Here you are whole, not broken
Leave it behind - all of the pain inside
Here you will be, not broken

Through the crowd patchwork souls move closer, closer
And when you fall down in between them all
Here you are whole, not broken

Leave it behind - all of the pain inside
Here you will be, not broken

You will see
You will see


The song:



Hang in there, bro. You may be altered, but you are "not broken." Make the best of what you have. You're extremely intelligent and a good man. Goodness increases, you will see!

Great news! You should wait at least until tomorrow to begin chasing the nurses around the floor.

Welcome back Punch

I'm no doctor, but walking, eating, and posting on DawgTalkers one day after brain surgery seems like good progress.

Keep it up!

Not dead is always a good place to start. lol Glad to hear you're doing well, and I pray that God will bring you rapid healing and a complete recovery.

Here’s my scar about 14 days ago (I taped this during a replay of the 92-yard Chubb run). Don’t click if you’re squeamish.

[video:youtube]https://youtu.be/qYOSRv2E4f0[/video]

It looks a lot better today, plus my ~3 week hair growth is covering it more (which is starting to bother me since I’m a two week shaver). The bruises and marks on my forehead and neck healed up too. I guess they had me in a mini halo during the surgery.

Still off work. Doctor won’t let me go back until the 6th. I feel good though, I want to go snowboarding (I won’t though).

You can’t scare me with scar. I’ve seen things I can’t unsee. Bring it on.


Glad you’re doing well.

LOL..............I have a long one on my neck from when I had a tumor removed from my carotid. The surgeon did a great job and it isn't gross, but if someone asks about it, I tell them "you should see the other guy." LOL

Man, that scar is so tiny I can barely see it. wink lol

I am really glad you came through the surgery well. How is your balance? I know that was a concern.

Balance is going well. I guess the tumor had damaged my left side balance nerve a lot over the years. Meaning, my right has been compensating all along and it wasn’t much of a shock to my system. I can get a little dizzy if I sit around too much, but it’s not too bad. If it were warmer, I would have snuck out for a ride on my motorcycle.

I think I have 10-20% of my hearing left on that side. In a restaurant or at the mall, I can’t hear crap if someone is talking to me on my left. In a quiet room, my right can pick it up. I didn’t care about that though. I can deal with being mostly deaf on one side. No big deal.

I need to come up with a good story to explain the scar. Shark attack, knife fight or....

They booted me out of the hospital early Friday. I was only in for three days. And I had a male nurse most of the time. I don’t remember my female ICU nurse, so maybe I said something bad to her, but I was drugged up a lot that night.

I’m glad you’re doing well. Three days, after brain surgery, not bad. I got out two days after a heart attack, but that’s like riding a tricycle in comparison. Impressive!

You saw a girl being attacked by 3 guys .... so you jumped in to save her, and she got away .... but you took a knife blow ....... wink

I may, or may not, have used that one in a bar, when I was younger, to explain scars on my arm and shoulder ..... crazy rofl

That scar is a beauty! I've got about a 4 incher across the throat from my thyroid cancer surgery. Looks like I survived a murder attempt!

Keep on pushing on! Looks like your doing great! Browns fans are tough!

A bunch of us have been through the ringer! Keep up the fight! Always in our thoughts and prayers. Though I don't know all our names I've asked a pastor friend of mine and his congregation to keep a truckload of us on prayer lists! Can't hurt...
