The story...

About a year 'n a half back, I high-sided on my Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 Classic at about 45 mph. Yeah... ouch. :lol: I was out cold for a while and had completely torn my right clavicle from the shoulder joint so I got a free ride to the hospital with some nice men in a big truck with fancy lights. :wink:

Anyway, to make a long story short, I underwent a battery of tests... x-rays, CAT scan, etc...

The good news was that I suffered no permanent head injury and was only kept for observation for the night... got some good drugs too! Shoulder hurt like #&%@!

The bad news was the CAT scan on my head revealed a tumor just over my left eye. Didn't appear to be a problem and looked like it had been there a long time because of some calcification in the middle of it.

Fast forward to right now... I am having a little issue with some slight double vision and go in for another CAT scan this afternoon.

I suspect a surgery is imminently in my future.

Any good thoughts or positive MOJO would be graciously accepted!

sorry to hear that. Hope all, turns out well. I lost my sister to a bike accident. She was thrown 135', cut-off by drunk driver in pick-up. She was a deputy in Clearwater Fla. at the time. My girlfriend had a brain tumor removed 5 years ago, thankfully all is well. best wishes, I'm sure everything will turn out well.

If it hasn't changed it's probably a calcification, no worries mate. Oh, and Bro, you have all of my love and I mean that in the most manly way that could be, if love = mojo you have all of it

Mojo and best wishes man. Being a veteran of several CT and PET scans due to cancer, I know the feeling about wanting to avoid more surgery. Think positive thoughts...it really does help! :wink:

Doesn't look hardly any different than the last scan they did. I don't know why I'm getting the double vision now. I wouldn't care if Crown Royal was the cause of it all! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I promised complete with pics now didn't I? The tumor is circled in red. Just above my left eye. :wink:

Best of luck to you Blackstrat. It seems that you have a positive attitude and a plan get through this. Stick with it and don't let doubt draw energy from you. Major MOJO sent your way. Good luck. :)

Hey, my friend! Of course we're all with you! I hope it's nothing!
And can't wait to hear the good news after the scan!

EDIT: Oh you already did the scan! I'm sorry, I'm shortsighted anyway! :D I still hope everything is well! And nice brain, by the way!
