- On the drive to surgery. Yep, there were smiles!
-
- Pre-surgery CT scan
-
- Getting my XL frame put on
-
- Nice and tight!
-
- Don’t let it fool you! Local anesthetic for this operation. General anesthesia wasn’t used until the last hour or so when the pulse generator was implanted in my chest.

- A close up showing the frame that was secured through my skull
-
- This was taken just before the burr hole was drilled
-
- First you can see my scalp pulled back, then you see my skull, then you can see a little bit of my brain through the hole that was drilled
-
- Time for the lead to go in!
-
- Seriously. How cool is that?
-
- All done and stapled up!
-
- In ICU recovery after the surgery. Thumbs up with my affected hand!
