A Very Merry Re-Birthday to Me

[copied from dland]

**In 26 days I will be 50 years old**

A short happy entry today: it is my re-birthday, and I am 11 years old.

Not to be confused with the real birthday, the BIG one, coming up in just 26 days. (See above.) The re-birthday is the day I celebrate that I had a brain tumor cut out of my head and lived to tell the tale.

Eleven years ago. Holy cow. More than half out of the lives of either of my children. They have no clear memories of me before hearing with both ears and being able to walk a straight line. But really, why would they?

Enough, enough. It is really very cool that I get to celebrate this one each year, and that as a result I get to celebrate the other one, too. That's all!
