"My head's pretty fucked, and not just because I've been drinking for days. It is actually trying to kill me. Turns out my cancer has been making some very very slow progress back into a dangerous area of my brain that controls the motor functions of my left hand side. When I first got this news a month ago I was under the impression there was going to be a much longer timeframe on things, and that it was something I'd need to elect to do in the next couple years, but upon meeting with one of the surgeons on Tuesday it's all become very real and more serious than I realised and they want me in for another surgery soon. I've spent the last few days cancelling a whole bunch of super cool band/touring plans, and I'll be having my skull cracked open again basically immediately after Dark Mofo and going through the whole fucken thing again. Building back the ability to walk again. Being half blind for weeks again. Rebuilding the muscles to smile again. Growing my hair back again. Being a dumb cunt with a brain injury again. Probably the rest of the year off work again. Feels like all my fresh momentum is already gone once again. More radiation and maybe chemo is a likely possibility which means being terrified of covid again. This is a really draining conversation to have with people over and over again but now that I've gotten the hardest chats out of the way I just want to put it out there so I don’t need to keep explaining myself. I find some solace in the fact that I am in a much better position to deal with this now than I was in 2019, but this shit really sucks."
