Thank you so much for your kind words and thinking of me and having me in your prayers.

I have noticed a small reduction of the shaking just from putting the rod in - and not having it hooked up to the battery. The surgen said this is normal and that during the surgery it looked like it was going to be a huge success from what he saw when they hooked it up in the OR.

It is amazing how technology and science has evolved to what is today. I cant even imagine when i have kids what kind of stuff is going to be out when they are my age. Pretty neat and wild stuff

Again, thanks alot everyone i really appreciate it!

Good luck sir! Sounds pretty unfun but I'm sure it'll go through fine. Just curious, how does electrocuting your brain help??

hey thanks i actually went out last night to the bar for the first time in a while to celebrate !

The person can pretty much choose anywhere they want the battery but the further away the more wiring needed and a longer surgery, the surgeon said he even put one in someones *** check not sue if he was telling a joke or not though lol. but they usually put it right around the collar bone on the right side. but since i shoot rifles and stuff every so often im going to have it on my left side.

again thanks for the support i go tomorrow to get my staples out! still have a nice lump on my head though. but the ladies dig the shaved head let me tell ya !

And i got the bill from the hospital pretty pricy. $32,000 and change. and i still need the 2 other ones oh well when this is over im going to have over $25,000 worth of **** in me IM RICH BIATCH

Well I just got back from the hospital. I had the other side of my brain done on wedneday. They surgery went well again, not as good as last time - but no problems. This time for some reason it hurt alot more (but i got a **** load of more morophine when it was done ) And i had some fluid left under my skin. Everytime i moved my head it sounded like i had water in my ear but it was on the top of my head. It sucked. But most of that drained out last night. So everything went well, im just all up on vidodins now . Gotta go back to school tuesday but I think I should be fine by then.

The next surgery is on the 20th when they install the battery, then about a week later I have to go to rehab for about 3 days and they program the whole thing, then I should be done.

I wish i had the cable to put pictures from my phone on the computer I have a few good ones of the halo that was drilled to my skull and the staples and such. If I can find a cable I will post em up.

Well just wanted to keep you updated.
take care
mike

Damn that **** is crazy. It sounds like you are the Manachurian Candidate now, especially once they program you. What is your first mission?
