Nine years

It was nine years ago today that I fell at home after passing out, and later learned I had a tumor growing at the base of my brain. Since then, it's been good news as a drug regimen helped shrink the tumor and restore my hormone levels.

I'm still on two pills to this day, one keeps the tumor in check and the other makes my thyroid function.

Nine years on, I still remember Anil Dash posting this tweet. And I remember and thank Charlie Park for archiving all the related tweets on a site especially for it.

During my recovery, it was an amazing experience to see hundreds of people saying nice things about my work and I still periodically return to it when I need a pick me up. I've long said it was like getting to attend my own funeral and hear the eulogies and I'm thankful to all the nice things people said. It still keeps me going every day.
