The stapled scar. Yes ... the pain was very intense. I knew nothing here!
As Dr. McCoy in Star Trek would say, "How Barbaric !" (Where are you now, Bones??!!!)

For some reason I kept singing a Peter Frampton song: "Do you you, feel like I do?" I did that for a couple months driving my friends crazy!!

Seven years ago today I had brain surgery. I wasn't on Flickr yet, not sure Flickr existed. But I do believe I knew many of you from Fotolog. Is that still around? Anyway, I'm not dead or asleep in this picture. I had surgery the 24th and then took this photo when I was back home on the 26th. I just closed my eyes for the photo. A few days later I had two black eyes and my face was very swollen but I'll spare you those pictures. It took over a year for the hair that they shaved off the front of my head to grow back to even a sort of normal length. That was hard.
If you ever have to have brain or back surgery I believe that finding the right surgeon is key. Take your time in selecting the very best you can.
I got lucky. I am fine for the most part.

At the hospice room in San Francisco the night before my brain surgery for the aneurysm.
This image was taken March 21, 2007. Today is Jan. 1, 2008 and I've lost almost 80 pounds since this image was taken. Driving to work one-way was over 90 miles. I sometimes worked 12 hour days - my schedule was 6 days in a row then 2 days off. I was exhausted by the time I was off work that I got little exercise. Since my surgery, then getting terminated by my company because my doctors could not release me to work in time, I spent last summer riding my bicycle (the only equipment I can "operate" alone!), and walking/going on hikes. So I've lost considerable weight and feel better. But Alas, poor Yorick ~ very little short-term memory still. sigh

Badie prepares the tiny plastic catheter and small chamber that will later usher in the patient's CAR-T cells. Badie then turns to the section of bone (craniotomy) that earlier covered the brain, which has been soaking in a sterile bath, and begins drilling into it.
