Thanks for the support everyone.

DS: I'm not expecting a walk in the park by any means, but my doctor says that the posterior fossa decompression is much more painful. Basically have 2 4 inch scars (not sure why he didn't connect them, lol) down the back of my head past C2. Muscles were cut, a part of my skull was removed, and the lamina of c1 was resected by about half. Then they opened up the dura surrounding the brain and sewed in a patch to make it bigger, I was pretty low on spinal fluid for a while. It was pretty brutal. Thanks again for the support.


This pic was about 3 days after the operation.
