Do you get to keep the pieces of skull they drill out? Is it with a drill bit or hole saw? How do they seal the hole back up? JB Weld?

 

whewwww, I was running low. Thanks, Rube! Way to look out for a brotha

 

Nahhhh, didn't get to keep any of the stuff as I was out of it for about six months, man. I did ask one of the neurosurgeons how big the hole was that he had to drill into my skull in order to place the VP shunt. He told me he used a drill bit about the same diameter as a nickle. How frigging awesome is that?

 

Yikes, Charlie!

Billy, I was gonna send you some e-midol but then you'd for sure get a nosebleed once a month and we're all out of e-kleenex here too.

 

I'd settle for some e-pamprin, Ginny. I get some wicked headaches and heard that would help them! LOL I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. Mine's been pretty good, but the wife fell again and cut her eye and probably effed up her left arm again. She'll do anything for a little attention, I guess.

 

Charlie, you definitely don't need the monthly nosebleed so I'll send you some e-advil instead. Give your wife the real stuff, poor thing - ouch on the fall.

Hoping that 2015 brings everyone good health and happiness!

 

How .... I don't know, but I missed this thread. So I hope each of you had a great Christmas

 

Glad all seem to be exchanging necessary supplies for continued existence---way to support each other as we always do.

Sorry to hear about wife's tumble. Maybe she just doesn't wanna help with final house prep.... (just kidding)

 

hello all.

 

Ganja? Who in the world can afford that stuff nowadays? Not me and I don't live in a state where it's legal.
