Because life is short and you should do what you're passionate about!

Six days ago, I had brain surgery. I made it home a few days ago and I'm still mostly bed ridden. Despite this, I'm starting to work again because I love my job and I'll be bored out of my mind if I stop...

If I was at differently stage in my career, I would probably be playing Civ and shooting for a religious victory under Canada (the religion would be named "Tim Horton's" of course).

What is it like, recovering from brain surgery, in ways that may be different from recovering from other kinds of surgery? I imagine it could be quite challenging and unique?

It depends on the case! I've had a pretty smooth recovery so far because I'm relatively young (28) and my lesion was superficial.

People with harder surgeries (like brainstem) take months to recover.

Here's my story if you're interested: https://twitter.com/rclmenezes/status/1321160909360943109

Is this to say that you enjoy your work that much at the present (more advanced?) stage?

Also, have you tried Europa Universalis 4?
