Thats a tough deal to cope with. My neighbor one house down across the lane, had or has a very similar thing, I believe they removed the tumor, he had to take it easy for awhile which is hard to do for someone who stays busy or maintains a routine. He's mid 70's, retired from his long time power equipment business, mostly chainsaws, trimmers and similar, he sold the business to his partner, but still works 2 days a week, he's a great grandad too, they have lived the "model" life, as I call it. When they built their home, he also built a nice shop building, and I've seen some beautiful classic cars come out of their, and some modern ones too. They, he and his wife, are he nicest, most polite and the best neighbors a person could have.
I think what stands out is that when we were talking about this situation, he's aware of the condition he lives with, but is resolved on one, thing, he says he just won't let it bother him, I'm just going to live and go about my business.
There are a scant few people I admire in this life, he's one of them. He's got a nice place, impeccably well kept, all his doing, he enjoys doing it. As a matter of a fact, when he cuts and trims the grass, + all the other things they do to make it look nice, if myself and the neighbor don't keep up, it stands out like being late for church, LOL !!! He sets the standard as I call it and we joke about it, nothing fancy, just has his signature all over it, so we do our best to do the same and the lane always looks great when you drive up it when said and done. He's always had nice vehicles, an RV for quite some time and lots of things similar, but never lived beyond their means, indulged in extravagance. He's got to be right up there with the best grandads ever, the kids always come to stay, he even lets one steer the vehicle as he drives up the lane. Its amazing to be a great grandad, he's blessed, I remember when he was just a grandad, he bought one of those side by sides, and his grandkids wanted to go watch the ducks and geese on our land, take a ride in that atv side by side thing, very politely he asks permission, he is welcome anytime for any reason, don't need to ask but will do every time, he even trimmed the branches on the trail. One thing is for sure, he never let this condition get him down and I am sure its a lot more serious than he states. Not sure if any of this of any help, but a good example of how another is coping under similar circumstances, its scary to think about our current age and immortality, so I think its better to live and cross the bridges when you get to them.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
