    Steve AKA Kraftwerk wants all his friends here to know that he is recovering nicely from surgery.
    A couple of weeks ago he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Fortunately it wasn't one of the very nasty sort and earlier this week he underwent a twelve hour procedure that removed an egg sized growth proximate to his pituitary. The surgeon was confident that he removed the entire mass and subsequent scans have confirmed that.
    He's expected to return home by the end of the week and the prognosis appears extremely positive.

    He's not sure when he'll be up to posting here but wanted you folks updated.
    I'll post any further updates as they come.

    Do you have Sky in your hospital Steve? Don't want to miss the race now do you :D.

    Best wishes. Must say chills came over my whole body once I read brain tumor. Happy you're doing well!

    I've forwarded a link to this thread but I'm not sure that he's up to much at this point.

    Needless to say he's greatly relived but sedated and not at full facilities yet.

    Was he ever?

    Glad he's OK. The size of an egg? There'll be nothing left! Should have no effect on him. :)

    If it was near his pituitary, were either of the Optic Nerves involved? Is his sight OK?

    The prognosis is for a full recovery.
    Apparently the surgeon is a top UK guy at this sort of thing.

    There's some speculation that it might have been having an averse effect on his personality.


    Can we really handle a kinder, gentler Steve?

    Great news. Some of those neurosurgeons are magicians. They are truly talented.

    Wow. Glad everything is progressing positively, Steve. Hope to see you back posting soon.

    Somehow this has to be Mosely's fault ;) :D

    I'm amazed that it took eighteen posts until someone figured that Max did it.
