So how's your hearing now.......did it fix it?

You're a hunter, you'll recover and be back to chasing bulls in no time.

Unfortunately no. The doctor said the inner ear was damaged beyond repair from the tumor but I will still try out a hearing aid as soon as I can

Thank you for all the kind words guys! I thank God everyday for giving me this second chance. I hope everyone has a merry Christmas.
As far as next season goes, my wife tells me I’ll totally get an elk now that I don’t have a baseball in my brain, I hope she’s right!

Time is your friend. After they removed my wife's brain tumor she was blind, mostly deaf and had zero equilibrium. She literally spent seven months on our livingroom couch, unable to climb the stairs to our bedroom. During her recovery she made many promises to herself on what she'd change if she got her faculties back. Now...many years later she not only has fully recovered (took 18 months) but has achieved those things she promised herself. Her tumor fueled a fantastic future that might otherwise have been unattained. Keep your chin up, heal and use this experience to ignite the inner passion to achieve your dreams. Hunting and that tumor can save your life and build a far better one. Time will slow for you in the short term but what happens thereafter can be amazing. The bulls will be calling you and next time...you'll hear em and fill that tag. Thanks for sharing.
