The title of this post makes me laugh…maybe it’s in bad taste but I still have a sense of humor =)

So what’s the big laugh you ask? 

I’ve been feeling pretty sick these last few weeks. It started with a really bad neck pain and then turned into what it is. After a few days of neck pain, I went to see a chiropractor. Seems like a logical thing to do right? After a few times seeing that guy, I realize that it really wasn’t helping.

The weekend came and went and my neck pain turned into a head ache mixed a feeling of being in a cloud. I started to feel more ill than in pain. It’s a little tough to explain. Needless to say, I went to see my doctor and tried to explain what I was feeling.

The doctor took blood and urine and sent it off to the lab. I was SURE the blood was going to come back saying something terrible judging by the way I felt. The blood/urine work came back the next day and the doctor tells me “you are 100% healthy… according to blood-work, nothing is wrong with you… you probably just have a nasty virus and there’s not much we can do but let it pass“.   

By the time we actually had this conversation about how healthy I am, I was feeling EVEN WORSE. And by worse I mean… my left arm went numb, my eyes couldn’t focus, panic, dizzy, super weak, confused, feeling of like everything is a dream, on top of my head feeling so numb that I could stick a Tac in it and not feel it. And so yesterday I found myself in the ER at the hospital here in Burbank.

After waiting there for hours, I was finally given a CAT Scan on my head. The ER Doc came back after they had the results and told me I have something called an “Arachnoid Cyst” on my brain. 

I was told not to freak out about it and that it’s not something that is deadly but it’s a little hard not to freak out when someone tells you that you have something on your brain…mix that with feeling like crap…etc.. you get the idea.

Anyway, it must not be THAT bad because I was released and referred to a Neurologist (appt Monday at 3pm, details to come). From what I can tell from Googling the Spidery sounding thing on my brain…it’s something that I was born with?

Sweet, something else I can blame my father for

Anyway… I feel little better today. I have feeling again in my arm but my head’s still pretty numb. I only hope I feel good enough to perform next Saturday at the Viper Room

(yes, I’ll take whatever shameful plug I can get)

I told my band guys that I’ll be performing no matter what… Even if it’s just my brain in a glass jar sitting on the piano with a spot light…. I’m THERE. How’s that for being a Trooper

Anyway… I think my hockey career might be over

It’s “official”…

Saturday November 22nd at The Viper Room

You’ll be able to get tickets online in a few days but it’s not listed on the website yet…more on that soon.

So, yeah…I’m booked next month on the Sunset Strip again. I’m hoping the 22nd will be a good night since it’s the weekend before Thanksgiving. Anything after eats into Holiday Nightmares. 

Wow, this means I actually have to send out an email to my mailing list…how shocking! Now if I can just remember how to do that. 

We hit the stage at 9pm sharp so to those who are usually “fashionably late” I must remember to tell them 8pm instead

More details and spam to come!
