| Grace Carpenter My Happy Stroke |
One of the specialists we saw last week was looking over the notes about my stroke and said, "I see you had a craniotomy."
Craniotomy?
I know that I had brain surgery, but I didn't realize that it's called a craniotomy. The image that comes to mind for me is a slightly unbalanced Victorian surgeon, indulging his curiosity by drilling holes willy-nilly in his patient's skull (apologies to the fabulous Dr. Tierney).
I'm sure this procedure has come a long way since the Victorian times, especially at MGH. Still, I'm glad that I wasn't awake during the operation.
