Pictures from a looong day

7 am and we were ready to go. First off they froze the four places on my head where they were going to bolt in the metal frame. The freezing came in 4 hypos that HURT! The tears were streaming down my face and we hadn't even started bolting things on.



These are the plastic bolts that go through the frame and into my head. Note the white ends. You won't see them on the outside of my head in any of the other pictures.

Plastic helmut that they use to make sure everything is exactly lined up.


Me in the machine. I'm the one laying down.






The doctor is un-bolting me. This felt really weird as the pressure came off. Yes those are wrenches he's using.




Trying to give people an idea of the holes that are left. MAJOR headache!! Now I rest, treat the minor headache and watch for symptoms of too much brain swelling. If they show up it's steroids again. Booooo. I'm off to bed. Night night.



These photos may not stay up here too long because of the space they use.
