I am a chef, and I cant taste half of my food because it makes my throat and mouth seize up and gives me wicked bad brain freeze. I cant grab boxes out of walk in freezer because my hands go completely numb and I drop stuff. Anyway, at least I dont have to worry about sitting on my hand for "the stranger". LOL. I am however back working on my BRZ. Over the last 3 weeks Ive installed:

Tein Suspension
Cusco Front Strut Tower Bar w/ MCB
Cusco Rear Strut Tower Bar
Cusco Engine Room Power Brace
Cusco Lower Rear Power Brace
Cusco Rear LCA
Tomei UEL
Open Flash Tablet

And a few cosmetic items.

We're all pulling for ya! Get well!

Good Luck man!

I recently had open heart surgery, so I can kind of relate, dealing with a life-threatening issue. I really hope things work out for the best.
