Too Old

Just wanted to share why I've been a bit vacant from here. Our hockey season was done about 5 weeks ago for the summer. When that quit I began to feel like shit and get headaches. A trip to my doctor and neuro have proven that I have a brain tumor behind my left eye near the edge of the brain. Where we live is only about 2 hours south of Rochester, MN (Mayo Clinic). I'm waiting a call hopefully by Monday from them to see what my fate holds. I've done a ton of online reading and there appears to be a chance it can be removed... but it may grow back in time. The doc told me I may have to give up hockey... ha! I told him I'd switch to goalie if it required a bit more head protection. Time will tell. As will my ability to mountain bike, road bike, and motorcycle ride. Which in itself is tough as I'm the service manager at a very busy Harley-Davidson/Yamaha dealer. This is worst for my wife who lost her first husband 26 years ago to a brain tumor. They're kids are now 30 and 28, and ours is just 14. My fear is losing everyone so that keeps me motivated. Anyhow... that's the scoop and thanks for the wishes from my pals on here and Facebook... it's been greatly appreciated.

Should be interesting to have an AHL team only a couple hours away. I'll try to take in a few games next season. I'm not necessarily a Wild fan but it'll be cool to see that level of hockey close to home.

Thanks!

Nice clean pair of Bauer Impact 75 Jr skates size 4D. Got them for our daughter a couple years ago and she's outgrown them. No nicks or cuts, always dried and sprayed with Febreze after use. Tendon guards in perfect shape as we taught her the proper way to take skates off. Recent 7/16" sharpening. They come with the nice pink laces shown too, lol.
