Ah geez, I was hoping for a happy announcement also. I was only able to tune in for a few minutes and hearing you and Kyo talking I got the feeling it wasn't very good news. Anyhow, I am also hoping for the 20% for ya Charlie.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.
Charlie,
I'll try pulling some strings with the Boss on your behalf. You never know what the result of that may be.

Thanks everyone, it means a lot. 
I have an exploratory on the 28th, and we'll be going from there on doing a possible trip out to Berkley for more tests and things...
I'll keep everyone updated!
I can't think of a life more worthy of celebration. You are the BEST, Charlie. Glad you are back. Will be looking for you. LOL, this is even my first post on the forums. This should tell you how much you mean to all of the Sallys. Love & hugs!
Sorry to be late to the party here, but...
... I have my fingers crossed for the 20% as well.
*hugs lots*
The end of one story always marks the beginning of another...
Saw the new surgeon for the exploratory today, and he has good news and bad news.
Good news: I'm a perfect candidate for the Berkeley procedure. And the occipital nerve is dead. I'll be having a temporary nerve block put in sometime in the next week or so to see if it can be safely removed before they ship me off to Berkeley.
Bad news: Depending on how that nerve block goes, I'll be in a wheelchair permanently. My balance center is severely damaged, it's just a question of when now.
Either way, the new procedure stands a chance of adding some time to my 3-5 year expiration date. We just don't know how much yet.
*hugs you soooooooooooo tightly*
Hope it turns out for the best, Charlie.

We're planning on putting a ramp on the front of the house for Charlie's wheelchair (so he doesn't have to live outside).
Right now, the only people in the house still capable of physical activity is me, so it's an awful lot of work.
DJ Abrahms is coming out on the 14th to lend a hand, and maybe a few other people, so we're turning it into a full-blown event. Instead of a barn raising, we're having a ramp raising!
If you're in the Lexington, KY area, or can get here for that day, we'll be feeding anyone who comes to help and also finding places to sleep for those that need it. I know Charlie will appreciate any help we can get, and so will I! The more hands we can get on this, the less difficult it'll be for everyone involved.
If anyone can plan on being here to help us out, send me a PM and I'll be more than happy to give directions, help work out plans, or whatever you need. Thanks!
City of Heroes taught me that when the world is burning, you don't just stand by and watch, you grab a fire extinguisher and do whatever you can to stop it-even if it's not much at all. Sign the petition to keep City of Heroes alive HERE.

There is a possibility that I could be visiting Hawesville, but I don't know when.
If it happens, I'll be glad to help out with anything you need done, logistics willing, even if it's just taking care of a meal or doing chores.

UPDATE for those of you who are interested... Today is the first surgery! I (or more likely, Kyo) will post after we get back to let everyone know how it goes!
Did you feel a tickle on your cheek? That was the good karma I just sent your way. You are in my prayers, Charlie. Love & hugs

Well, unfortunately Charlie's appointment was postponed one week. Doubly disappointing the office decided not to tell them about it until they showed up in person, because a 45 minute drive (one way) is considered "local".

Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Thanks Abrahms. I was so MAD last night that I forgot to post the update.
Note: the receptionist who rescheduled me was the same bleach-blonde, Tammy-Faye-wannabe who told my primary surgeon 4 times in a row "we got the fax with his medical records, but not the referral slip." until the primary surgeon's nurse finally gave up and WALKED IT TO HER from the office across the street!
Yay! I now have a Ramp!

Oh, there's going to be rails added soon. along with rope lights on the decking so i can navigate at night.
With a spirit as strong as yours and the support of this community I fully believe that 20% is more like 200%. Such is the power of positive thought!

Bah! That's nowhere NEAR as fun as the "giant slingshot and a prayer" method!
Yeah, the landings are a bit rough, but hey!
Clicking on the linked image above will take you off the City of Heroes site. However, the guides will be linked back here.
That's an awesome idea, Hyper. Kyo can play Angry Charlie!...although I'm not sure what they'd be shooting at.
Lookin' good, Charlie. Keep us posted.
Sorry to hear that news Charlie. And as others I to will wishing for the 20% window.
I think that the best thing for everyone to do is to make the most everyday that is given to them.
A man's life is not measured by what he has done, but by the lives he as touched while amoung us.
