    I wish her good luck and glad you have a good time planned with her prior to the procedure she's lucky to get. My kiddo is researching neuroscience as a career. The last time I took a course a few years back the textbooks couldn't keep up with the science. I wonder how it will change in the next 10, 20 years. Maybe that will be a common procedure done by AI by then

    Thank you so much Spunkie. We are home now, and the brain surgery was an incredible success!! I'm not exaggerating when I say it was like witnessing a miracle. We went into recovery, they pulled back the curtain, and my mom was lying there holding a cup of water in her right hand, totally steady, with a huge smile on her face. My sister and I yelled out in glee and danced, lol. I was literally feeding my mom before the surgery because she couldn't keep her hand steady enough to do it herself. After, we filmed her eating a couscous salad without spilling a single grain. 
    It was absolutely stunning that a procedure could so effectively and quickly change a life like that. They did the right side this time. The left hand will be fixed in about a year. But man, even with one hand now able to take on fine movements, her life is so much improved, I am beside myself with happiness for my amazing mother!! And that doctor who developed this incredible new surgery, and who also performed it... as far as I'm concerned, he deserves a Nobel prize.
    Also, Sunnybrook is an incredible hospital. I've never seen anything like it. It reminded me of those hospitals in the TV hospital dramas, where they have the best of the best.
    Finally, I found the people of Toronto to be completely amazing. Everyone was so nice, and they have a liveliness to them that you don't really find in Vancouver, where everyone is arguably too chill.

    But the traffic was fucking appalling, lol. And the air there really fucked me up. It wasn't hot, but there is a disgusting humidity and heaviness to the air, it actually kind of messed up my whole system in a way,, like it made me swell up, clammy.... plus my hair hated it, haha. I missed the Vancouver air badly the whole time I was there.
    That is GREAT news , A.

    BAD news  about your hair =LOL

    the utter condescension treating my generation of dads like the my dad's generation is annoying af. "are you babysitting tonight?". "no, they're my kids, I'm just being a dad. wife and I do 50% each (the stuff that is possible for a dad to do, obvioiusly)".
