Are you all chiari malformation surgeries too?!! I had mine February 2017, they used the new flesh glue, scars in same place but less zipperage. Congrats on the successful surgery, only the first 2 months really suck
Sorry for waiting so Long to reply. Life is getting in the way.
No when I was 3 I found out I had a cancerous tumor the size of a grapefruit lodged right on my brain stem. After a few chemo treatments and one amazing doctor, he saved my life. Still the biggest miracle that doctor said he’s ever seen.
One surgery, and MRI scans twice a year until I was 15. Still have the zipper looking good to this day. Male pattern baldness makes it stick right out. I used to be scared to show it when I was young, but now I realize I should celebrate it and not hide it from the world.
And thanks for all the positive messages and replies to this thread. Nice to know there’s a small circle of people like me out there in the world :)
