A few life lessons I've learned in the past few months:
1) Contrary to popular belief, your eyeball will not pop out of your head if you don't shut your eyes while sneezing.
2) The folks who design hospital menus have a really sick sense of humor. Why else would they have served me pork medallions, au gratin potatoes, and collard greens the day after my surgery?
3) Post-surgical nausea is a FANTASTIC way to lose weight.
4) According to my wife, I look totally badass with a shaved head.
5) People are really, really nice to you when you get a brain tumor; even the people who really weren't all that friendly before.
6) Apparantly whistling requires that both sides of your mouth work. Eating a Big Mac is also much easier when both sides of your mouth work properly.
7) Chicks really do dig scars.
8 Having 'selective hearing' is a really good way to avoid difficult questions and awkward situations.
And finally,

Things are never as bad as they seem, nor are things ever as difficult or as scary as they appear. We are all much braver than we think. We should never, ever sweat the small stuff, and in the end, it's all small stuff.
