@ridersagainstdrunkdr - I wanted to add my welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I've witnessed one brain surgery while leading a news media crew for a story on an "awake" brain procedure, the kind where the patient has to interact at various points during it.
I had never seen a surgeon drill into someone's head before and lift up the flap, and that was a lot to take in.
This is looking like it could be a photo of the top of your skull during brain surgery. Is that accurate, or will you tell more about what we are viewing in this picture?

@lisalucier that is a picture they took of the implant after they installed it in my skull I have more photos of the surgery being a harley rider since I was 13 im 41 now but when I was hit by a drunk driver I couldn't get any help as far as me being a victim so I started a awareness organization called RIDERS AGAINST DRUNK DRIVERS or RADD I talk at victim impact panel meetings for people who got dui charges or substance abuse meetings honestly I never been a drinker or used drugs most people wouldn't believe me because of how I look being covered in tattoos before my wreck I went to college and became a master certified harley davidson technician i was making 98 dollars a hour but since the wreck with all the health issues im on disability and it doesn't pay close to what I use to make but sorry I got off track my surgeon and his staff knew about this so they took pictures of my surgery so I can use them to educate others on how their choice of driving impaired effects others for their lives
