onward and upward, surgery outcomes, etc.

[Guest guest]

Hi Group,

If I, if I could be like Chip, I wanna be I wanna be

I wanna be, (sung to the tune of that old commercial

about Jordan)! The outcome possibilities are

very interesting reading. I am off all pain meds, but

I know I still have a long way to full recovery. I am

trying not to read into little twinges of symptoms

that have occured on and off since surgery. I kind of

think that this surgery " rebooted " my brain and

nervous system. Like the way you reboot your

computer. So i would think it normal to have little

sensations as the system heals.

A while back there was a discussion about different

types of surgery. I mentioned that a 2 inch piece of

skull was removed and flipped inside out to allow more

room. Anyone else have that as part of there surgery?

I'm just noticing as I heal that this piece of bone

sticks out a bit more. It's a bone lump. This bone

is hinged at the top but not connected at the bottom.

It's not causing any problems, it is just something I

will have to adjust to. Gosh, if that's the only

thing that I'm left with I'll be on top of the world!

Just curious.

I hate to say this because it's been beat into the

ground, but I have to. I apologized because you all

are important to me and if I offended any of you, then

it needed to be done. I am going through some tough

times right now and Sheila's post just brought out

some things I am dealing with. So thanks to Sheila

for helping me deal with them for myself! OK I'll

drop it already!

My Best, ~~Patrice
