@mkoch actually they bolted a halo on my head. I was sedated so I didn’t know that it was happening. Then the halo snaps into the machine so your head doesn’t move. The halo was still on when I came out of it. I didn’t feel a thing when they removed it. It sure beats cutting my head open. I had no after effects.

Mine was bolted down for Gamma Knofe
