This book is filled with stories that I wrote just before and just after having brain surgery for metastatic breast cancer that spread to my brain. I've had people ask me what it was like not having full control of my body and brain during that time.I don't remember much, but I do remember that it was scary, so I wrote during those months. The words that came out in my writing can best express what I was going through because, honestly, I don't remember much from that time.I tried to leave the stories untouched, aside from fixing spelling mistakes, I did not edit them any further. I let the weird run wild through these stories. I have no idea what order these were written in, so they are just alphabetical by title.
