Do women like surgical scars?
Last year I had an operation done on my brain. In a few days I am going back for another operation, and another a week later. These will heal over scar tissue, making it thicker, so probably about a centimeter thick. I understand that a gang fight would make a better story. Some details behind mine, it started with a benign tumor and six years ago that acted up and caused encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. This destroyed a good portion of my brain tissue, and continued to cause me to have epileptic seizures. Last January I had the first operation done and they cut out a good portion of my temporal lobe, about the size of a kiwi fruit. But there was some damaged tissue that the scanners did not find. Not wanting to cause further damage they left it alone. However, that has continued to cause seizures, and they need to take out what was left. This coming operation will start with opening me up, planting electronic monitoring grids directly on my brain tissue. The portion of my skull will be sent to be preserved, and they will sew my scalp back over the grids. But I will still have wires hanging out of my head for a week. During this week I need to force myself into three or four seizures so the monitoring grids can locate it. And then for the second operation, they will remove the last of what was causing my problems. last year he made a 12.5 inch incision, this time he is using the same one twice. These will heal over scar tissue, making it thicker, so probably about a centimeter thick. I don't want this to seem like a "woe is me" story, there are lots of people who have it a lot worse. I also don't like to brag, but I still think that sounds tough enough.
