Thanks for asking Rudy. I hope this isn't out of place here.

Well back in March of '08 I was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Non cancerious thank God. Well they put me on chemo medication and it worked for awhile but after my latest blood work and MRI there have been no more improvements. Also along with the side effects of the meds, mood swings, short temper, can't focus on tasks at hand, and just recently double vision they decided on surgery. The tumor is attached to the pituitary gland. It is a little smaller than a golf ball. They will go up my nose and through my sinuses to get to it so as not to disturb any brain tissue.
Surgery is on 9-14-09 will be at home for 2 weeks and racing is done till next year.

Sorry to ramble. And I hope this was OK. Thanks
