Crash Course

[derivative666]

Tracheostomy

[jdl1279]

No, but getting closer. VERY skilled is the key.

[jdl1279]

Hint 5: the incision sight was not where the majority of my symptoms occurred. To explain better I would need a hand.

[jdl1279]

No more guesses? It isn't brain surgery here guys

[Giles]

Brain tumour

[mclaincausey]

Or lobotomy

[jdl1279]

No, but without handing it to you, it's not brain surgery, but damn close.

[Giles]

I wonder about lobotomy.  1 scar for on the way out and another when they replaced the reprogrammed lobe…

Carotid endarterectomy

[Giles]

You feckin what?

[jdl1279]

so I have the personality of a pod person?

Doug, no

To recap, two incisions, not brain surgery, but damn close. To explain symptoms I would need a hand.

Hint 6: My surgery was delayed two hours the day of because my surgeon took longer than anticipated in the lady's brain that was before me.

[DougNg]

Did you need to have pressure removed from a cervical disk?

[jdl1279]

No, but you're so close, think more extreme.

[DougNg]

Was something put in or taken out?

Was it bigger than a toaster?

[jdl1279]

Yes, yes, and no

[Arabit]

Extreme? They took out C7? xD

[DougNg]

Hm, so my guess is something laproscopic so you could regain function in a hand…

You're going to have to give more clues

[DougNg]

Correction of spondylolysis?

[jdl1279]

Can't really give more clues without giving it away, but Doug and Arabit are close enough for partial credit. I ruptured the cervical disc between C-6 and C-7. This required a discectomy to remove the fragments in my spinal column and cervical fusion to secure the level. That's scar 1, 2 came from a secondary surgery to remove bone spurs and some more disc fragments from C-5 and C-6. Any takers as to how it happened?
