you know @kingranch2003 , i was working in my tank today and looked at all the stuff ive gotten because of you. and i had to think you are just as good a salesman as vintage reefer:rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:. just got all my aqua rocks put in!!
 
Can you listen?
No but I earned my privileges back….lol
My wife was concerned because I’ve been a little manic lately.
But we’re working on it. I’m feeling better but still not normal. Have a Dr. appointment coming up.
Going to do labs and psyche.
Also, because of all the explosions when they did mri and cat scan they found a tumor in the base of my skull near my Vegas nerve and other nerves . They got the tumor out but they think a small piece was left inside me which is bad bad bad.
But it’s not for sure that’s what’s going on with me.
But where the tumor was located can cause Psychosis which I’ve experienced many times unfortunately.
They cut me from my Adam’s apple to my ear.
It ducked and just started to get some feeling back in my face thank god!
