I went to Gainesville Florida on Monday for a full day of testing, and Doctor appointments. I wasn't looking forward to this but I was glad they had them all lined up rather than multiple trips.
The reason I'm saying all this is because I'm sitting the stage for the funny conversation I had with one of the doctors.
The doctor told me why I had the tests he ordered MRI, and Cat Scan. He said 1,600 plus reference data points will be entered into a computer to see if my skull is to thick. I said I could've saved you a lot of time just call my son, he would be more than happy to tell you.
The doctor told me it's really not about the overall thickness it's about the thickness of certain layers of the brain. If those layers are to thick they won't be able to burn the 4 cm part of the brain they want.
He said I imagine there is hair under your hat? I said not much, he said you won't after I shave you. Then we'll screw bolts into your skull.
The burning of that part of the brain will cause it to expand which will compress the area around the spot. So when he is done I'll slur my words, I will have a hard time searching for words, and I will need to use a walker. The rest will hopefully go back to normal in a few months but the walker might be permanent.
So knee first then neck, and last but not least my brain.
