Glad things are progressing well. The medical costs are crazy. I have to get a tooth pulled by a oral surgeon and even with insurance I can't imagine what that will cost me. The brain stuff is amazing, good that the technology is available.

You don't have any bolts in the side of your head do you?

Peace
