    hey guys i havent been on here for some time. on august 29, this year, i had a massive siesure and blacked out. after ct scans and mri's on my head the doctors found a mass of underdeveloped blood vessels in my brain hemorrhaging towards the back of my head (they said i was born with it and was bound to rupture at any time). They imediately operated and had some complications. i have been attending rehabilitation at maddonas rehab center in lincoln nebraska. i have been recovering well and have regained all my motor funtions but fight headaches and confusion. ive been back for a week and a half now but have not had a computer because the one i had gave out while i was gone. sorry about the fantasy football league, i was really looking forward to it.

    Hey, don't even worry about the football thing. You have much more on your plate to deal with.
    Just stay positive and you will get through this fine. I wish you and yours the best, and keep us updated PLEASE!

    Sorry to hear about your struggles, but very glad to hear you are on your way back. No worries about the headaches and confusion, I am sure they will recede with time. Good luck!

    yeah and right before it happend, i made my sump/fuge but hadnt put any macro algea in it yet. when i came back there was a ton a green hair algea only on the back glass and pvc inside the tank but all readings were normal. a friend came over durring the process as well and informed my girlfriend that she needs a tang so she went and baught a sailfing tang thats around 5 inches. i had my work cut out for me.
