New Hair's Eve

3/7/2012

9 Comments

 
It's the day before.  I have so much to do, but I'm feeling pretty good about it - it'll keep my mind off the fear and stuff.  I've gotten used to that, for the most part, though.  My friend sent this to me and I'm going to post it here since it's pretty good advice no matter what you're going through:
Sooner or later you'll encounter a crisis in your life, and how you meet it will determine your future happiness and success. 
Since the beginning of time, everyone has been called upon to meet such a crisis.  Close scrutiny will show you that most "crisis situations" are opportunities to either advance or stay where you are.

Indeed, most changes in your life will be due to either "inspiration" or "desperation." 
Personal growth is the process of responding positively to change. Whatever comes your way, give it meaning and transform it into something of value. 
A precious stone cannot be polished without friction, nor humanity perfected without trials.
Sounds pretty good to me. ;)  Cliff's notes version:  "The only way out is through," as illustrated below:

Such true words. We just gotta do what we gotta do. Can't wait til the surgery is over and you are feeling better. Maybe you'll be better than you ever thought possible. I hope you'll get back to your blog when you are recovered enough to type and want to talk to us all again. My prayers are for your complete and speedy recovery.

Sending mojo all day tomorrow. I hope you don't have a massive headache, and that they get it all, no complications!

The utube clip was cool. Let us know when you're done with the documentary from all this. It'll be good.

I have to do a presentation tomorrow. If you were having your wisdom teeth pulled without anesthesia, I would trade places.

Well, get this thing done. Come back to us. So we can continue to give you a hard time. I think you're awesome.

Hey Kev,
I'm here and there with you in the OR making sure they don't cause you any pain! That's what I would do if I could. I love you, buddy, I really, really do!
XOXOXO, Diane

Its 4:15 of the big day Kevin. I hear they took you in much later than what you said. I spoke to Jai, and now I am just waiting to hear the outcome. The waiting is as awful for us as the scare is for you. I want to finish working on the songs we already have and start new ones. I need you to be there to help. I'm Mojoing and Wanjoing as much as I can Kevin. See you on the flipside.

    It's me, Kevin, but with a brain tumor.  Disclaimer:  I have a very dry and twisted sense of humor.  This is a scary situation.  The jokes ("tumor humor") could be a little dark from time to time.  I intend to keep this rather interesting for you, but if I get a "how could you SAY that?!?" response from you, know it's just, well, I hesitate to use "gallows" humor, but I don't have better phrase for it.  Enjoy, and thanks for your support through this time.
