Deep Brain Stimulation
My Dad just had this done last week to cure the familial tremors that have gotten progressively worse over the last four-five years.

Basically my Dad is now the Terminal Man, without the violent outbursts and killings and such.
What surgeries have you had/seen?

In neurotechnology, deep brain stimulation (DBS) is a surgical treatment involving the implantation of a medical device called a brain pacemaker, which sends electrical impulses to specific parts of the brain. DBS in select brain regions has provided remarkable therapeutic benefits for otherwise treatment-resistant movement and affective disorders such as chronic pain, Parkinson’s disease, tremor and dystonia.

Man ever try wanking after surgery?
I couldn't even move my arm.
It looked incredibly retarded
Just above and on the right side of my dick was shaved. So it was like three quarters of a circle, and then nothing
I was like "Man they could've at least made it symmetrical"
sigh
at least the drugs I get in the interim are decent
You only have one arm?
Jees, think outside the box man!

I...guess?
Invest in earplugs.
Also, to keep on topic:
I had a bunch of heavily swollen, necrotic, grown together lymph nodes removed from my nether-regions.
It was luckily not cancer.
They don't do nuthin without a work-order man.

Yeah. I had some molded to fit my ears because I get swimmer's ear really easily. They work so well but they make you practically deaf while wearing them
Well I was also on a lot of painkillers.
It's hard to get excited when you're spending half your day wondering where you are and what's going on.
I do remember starting to get up in the hospital when I realized that my gown had scrunched up over my stomach and if I stood up I would be naked.
's not like anyone but you will look at them.
You wake up and your throat is as dry as something that is really dry
and you can't drink because of the anesthesia
so basically they give you ice chips and some crackers
and you're like FUCK THE ICE CHIPS DON'T WORK AND THE CRACKERS ARE LIKE EATING SANDPAPER
At least I assume he did, the anesthesia made everything kinda funny for a little bit when I first woke up
I slept until 5 in the evening that day
I would be so happy if I could have ice cubes instead of water all the time.
And like.
A lot of saltine crackers with things to dip them in.
Oh man.
They're free so I just grab like eight.
the best

I might get it in the other ear aswell
however, a 6 pack...
Also I was not able to take showers because I wasn't really able to stand with the way the stitches were.
So after about 2-3 days when I took my first bath hopped up on pain killers it was a scary time slowly watch the water turn bright red, and slowly make it's way to crimson. And thne when I drained the water there was a blood clot about 4 inches long stuck to my now stained bathtub.
Also I think I cried once when I was having the bandages replaced.
By my mom
He removed it, and blood was pouring from my ear as it broke from the scabs and such.
I was yelling and such.
I had to have surgery later that night so they could tie the blood vessels as the blood just kept pouring.
Worst part was I had ate. So I had to lie there yelling till about 1am
Cue massive brain tumor.
