Speaking of which, they're going to send an extra brain scan and I'll get it scanned to post on here to show everyone just how much of my brain I'm missing 


Thank you both so much.

I've thought about the things I might do if it makes me normal enough to run again.......  actually, the only thing I've thought about doing is going out onto a football field, running a go route, and having the quarterback who played when I was in school throw me a pass, but I've been most excited about, and I've thought about more than anything, is being an advocate for this life-changing treatment that could help tons of people, not only now but in the future.

I've even imagined me on talk shows sitting there and discussing how it changed me and trying to bring awareness to it (lame, I know  ).

I'm sure you will get picked though. Definitely rooting for you.

I'm rolling in laughter!  Literally and figuratively!  

I do appreciate the love and support.  

This just seems so much like destiny that not selecting me seems impossible and illogical at this point.

BIG things are coming, not just for me, but for the treatment of brain injuries now and in the future!

Keep on keeping on bro :andy:

Very few stem cells come from aborted babies, but rather they mostly come from umbilical cord fluid, bone marrow, placenta and cord tissue, teeth, and amniotic fluid.
