IMAGE: My skull, sliced open, brain removed, view from the inside looking toward the hole in my head [View all]
Some of you might remember that last May I suffered a SAH, was airlifted to Stanford, had a seizure and surgery and totally dodged a fatal bullet.
Lucky me, my surgeon is the best in the country, maybe the world, Gary Steinberg. He invented modern brain surgery.
In June they determined there was infection and opened me up and then later in November they went in again and removed the bone flap, which was necroptic and septic and icky, they tell me.
On March 31 the will insert a bone flap made of polyetheretherketone. I hope this will be my last surgery. The post-op pics of staples and stitches and such are not pretty but this pic is COOL, I got it on Monday!
Note the crescent shaped area where my temple should be, that 4cm x 6cm area will be filled with a computer created filler piece. 
Does that hole in my head make my ass look big?
