Brain Surgery
via Warren Ellis of Die Puny Humans: Inspirational entry of the day goes to Jeannine, also known as Neener.
Neener is having brain surgery today to fix her Chiari 1 malformation. This is basically what happens when your cerebellum protrudes into your spinal column, like a hernia. Not surprisingly, this can cause all kinds of problems. What's scary about it is that not only is there a congenital version, but there are acquired versions of this as well, so without reading too much about it, it means that this could happen to you. Of course, if I had to have brain surgery, I wouldn't mind having a party much like Neener's the other night.
What I really liked was the symbolism of everyone shaving their head at the end of the party, although I could understand how some people might feel uncomfortable with this. Yes, I am thinking of one in particular.
Well, Jeannine, good luck. I'll try to catch updates on your husband's blog.
