  • I had a brain tumor. Then I had some brain surgery. Then I made a video about it. I've missed you.
    Thank you for being here, and for all of your nice messages, terrible jokes and care packages. It's been an onslaught of love unlike anything I could ever have imagined. I wouldn’t wish this experience on anyone, but all of you made it feel like a bizarre blessing. #brainblessed #tumorhumor #whothefuckuseshashtagsinyoutubedescriptions #apparentlyido

      Certain experiences in life makes you stop just doing " save and boring", because you realize you have no clue how much time you have left. If you can do something that is amazing to you JUST DO IT.

    A friend had a brain tumour and had to go to Sweden to have it removed. What he didn't do when he got there was inform the staff that he grew up in Sweden and spoke fluent Swedish. He only spoke English to everybody except his family until he had his operation, after which he switched to only speaking Swedish. He kept it up for 24 hours before confessing. Apparently the doctors and the hospital staff did not appreciate the joke. Sadly the tumour was cancerous and eventually got the better of him, but many such stories of him remain for us to remember him by. I'm so glad you are doing better and are capable of telling us about akward experiences of passing gas through your urethra!
    Here's hoping Brian will never return to you or anybody.

      For 2 bags of saline to wash out a wound, 5 staples and two nurses/doctors to look at my head and say "yep. It needs staples and you probably have a concussion" about 30 minutes spent in the hospital cost me almost 6k USD. Originally it did but then insurance 6 or 7 months later said sike we paid it, here's some money back. It's crazy expensive out here and insurance will do everything they can to not pay.

    • @jasonmyneni8605
      @jasonmyneni8605 2 года назад +3

      Honestly, that probably isn’t too inflated for a 9 hour surgery followed by a 2 day hospital stay. Anesthesia alone probably costed upwards of 8 grand. If a person in the UK, for example, saw the bill for this whole ordeal, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was close to 175,000 dollars

    I’ve been through two ear surgeries that made me completely deaf for over a month. I’ve had countless MRI scans and the specialist still doesn’t know why I lose my hearing.
    My advice to you is continue to do what you’re doing. Surround yourself with positive people and be an inspiration to those around you. My faith in God also helped me get through those lonely dark days.
    I understand you Simone, and I love you for being bold and courageous about this. Keep your head up and continue with that beautiful smile of yours!

    Congratulations on a successful operation! I had brain surgery 35 or so years ago. After my insurance paid 80% I only had $144,000 left to pay myself :> Before the surgery the doctor asked if I wanted him to shave just a part of my head of the whole thing. When I asked what he meant by just a part, he explained I would be able to comb my hair over it and no one would notice. Well, when I woke up from surgery half my head was shaved, and the other half of my head still had butt length hair that was all matted with dried blood. So, I just had a nurse shave the other half. I didn't sleep for several weeks after the surgery. I just played my guitar because it was the only thing I never forgot how to do. I wasn't as lucky as you, I barely knew my own name after surgery. It took me a few years to teach myself to read, write, speak, and understand English all over again.. by myself with no help. I didn't remember friends and my families names, I couldn't remember most my life before then. I bought a computer to help reeducate myself with. I guess I did an okay job, I went on to teach a course in television production at the local community college, and graphic seminars at a couple universities.

      Can you imagine? Simone: "I want to make a robot that tries to do my makeup with paintballs."
      Two hours later
      Simone: "Shit. Accidentally cured Zika Virus."

    You are still amazing regardless of the scar. It was a struggle you had, and triumphed over it. Wear it like a trophy because it does not subtract from your brilliance, but amplifies your perseverance.
    Thank you for your videos, I just found them tonight. So amazing!
