In 2001, actor Mark Ruffalo woke up in the middle of the night from a dream that he had a brain tumor.
He had no symptoms at all. But the dream disturbed him enough to ask the doctor on his film set to check.
The next day, a scan showed a tumor the size of a golf ball behind his left ear.
The tumor was benign, but it was pressing on a facial nerve and had to be removed. Doctors warned him the surgery could leave him deaf, paralyzed on one side of his face, or both.
There was one more problem. His wife was about to give birth to their first child.
So Mark said nothing. He kept the diagnosis from his wife until a week after their son was born. When he finally told her, she thought he was joking.
A few weeks later, surgeons removed the tumor. He woke up with the left side of his face frozen and no hearing in his left ear.
His face took almost a year to recover. His hearing never did. Mark Ruffalo has been deaf in his left ear ever since.

Katerina Robinson, 45, blew through Marion County with the headlights off and the speedometer up. She kissed the curb pulling over and already had a fat lip for the conversation.
The officer announced himself and she immediately asked why he was being smart.
Officers found a large Icehouse in the cup holder. Cold and still sweating.
The field tests were a disaster and the upper lip did not help the speech.
After she was in the car, she let everyone know she was pregnantโฆ. Thatโs diabolical
At the jail she blew a .134 and a .129. The numbers were clearer than the story. The fat lip stayed for booking.
