So I've been walking around with a small white rectangle dressing stapled to my scalp, covering the sutures and more staples.
They took the dressing off today, so I can post a photo of the actual future scar...
I guess I should have posted a photo of the dressing, but it pretty much looked like a mini-pad stapled to a bald guy's head, so... :-v
Yes, those silver things really are staples.
They have a fancy set of pliers to remove them that bends them just so to pull them out the reverse of how they went in, so the ones on the dressing felt like getting a couple hairs plucked out. I suppose these go deeper and will need a local or something, but I'll find that out next week...
Tuesday I meet with the oncologist to see what we're really dealing with, and the endgame.
Wherein I occasionally rant on various topics including, but not limited to, PHP, Music, and whatever other Topics I find interesting at the moment, including my brain tumor surgery of August 2010.

I have just properly added "brain tumor" as a keyword to all the brain tumor related posts lately.
I'm pretty sure all my non-geek friends can skip the other blog posts. :-)
So just click on the "brain tumor" link at the bottom of a post to get the whole story.
You are officially a punk rocker now, or at least way cool wkith the punk rockers:) Keep writing your making my day. Love and blessings, Jade
P.S. sorry for the typos. No coffee yet. You're, not your!!!
