John here!

Feeling well enough to give you a brief update while waiting on my wife to arrive:

Tumor removal went very well and I avoided cranial fluid leak which would have made recovery much longer and more involved.
During surgery my BP did drop significantly so they inserted an arterial line to monitor continually and treated to bring up. Now trying to get it down to normal levels. Weaning my off those meds.
Have had some significant hand swelling they will try to get to the bottom of. That and BP levels will likely keep me here tonight, but my surgery site itself is great and my head is almost pain-free with limited meds!

I'M OUT OF TIME!

We're less than 24 hours until my surgery and I'm about running out of time to answer messages and return calls and do a bunch of stuff that just ain't gonna get done at this point! I'm good with that. We've done a lot this week.
I'll be devoting most of the evening to getting in one last workout (as it will be a few weeks before I can) having a great meal (in case my sense of smell goes) relaxing, and being with my family.
I've said it a lot this week and will say it again when I get home, but thank you. Your kind words, prayers, encouragement, gifts, contributions, and support have been overwhelming.

.@johnlcooper is a "Christian" musician who doesn't love his neighbor.

Guess he just wants people to meet Jesus—sooner rather than later.

If God is love...
A professed Christian who defiantly refuses to do everything possible to keep people from getting sick and dying, is short one Jesus.

This is so reckless and antithetical to the Gospel it’s a disgrace.
The irony of a guy who passionately supports Donald Trump calling anything tyrannical, is at Olympic levels.

On September 11th I was working as an art director in Philadelphia.
I was walking through our artist studio when I heard Howard Stern on the radio say something casually about reports of a plane crash at the World Trade Center.
For a few seconds everyone on the show was speaking with almost glib curiosity, imagining it was a small private plane and speculating on what might have happened. Very quickly it became clear that this was something different.
I can remember standing in that spot for a long time, unable to move and barely breathing as they all gathered information in real-time. And I started to hear something in their voices I never heard before: genuine fear.

WE'RE GO FOR SURGERY!

The surgery to remove the benign tumor at the base of my brain is set for Friday October 1st.
Being only 3 weeks away and 3 days after my upcoming book launch, life is going to get crazy here but I'm feeling good and looking forward to beginning recovery!
We have a great team of doctors, a good plan, and a wonderful group of family, friends, and this virtual community around us—and I am feeling grateful.
People have been asking how they can support us from a distance. Honestly, in addition to positive thoughts, kind words/prayers, supporting the book would be huge, as I expected to be spend October promoting it—and that ain't gonna happen!😜
Thank you!

Why I Joke About My Tumor

Yesterday, I posted that I was trying not to let my tumor go to my head.

A woman named Cynthia said that she finds funny posts about my tumor diagnosis "disturbing."

Dear Cynthia (and others who share her discomfort),
Having a tumor in your brain is terrifying. Even if it's benign and even if the procedure is less invasive than it could be and even if recovery should be complete.
It's still brain surgery, which is not what you want to hear you need.
It's a source of incredible stress for the person and those who love them and alters all of their plans.
