That has to be better news than a stroke.

Everything is good ... <'TK><
The surgery was good ... Surgery on Sat ... Home on Monday ...
Take head injuries seriously even at the time you may not think much of it ... I fell and hit my head on the ground in April ... It rattled me in fact I think I was unconscious for a short while ... But had no after affects, no head aches, etc... Everything was fine until July 3rd. When I thought I had a stroke ...
The problem found after the MRI was That I had two subdural hematomas (golf ball size blood clots putting pressure on my brain located on both lobes under the skull)
Corrective action ... Drill four half inch holes through the skull and remove the clots ... ... Here are a couple of pic's (caution) ... What looks like zippers on my head are staples that will be removed next Monday .
I am up and going about my daily routine but a little slower ... After I get the clearance from the Neurologist I am having the right knee replaced next month ...
I want to thank all of the Members for their words of encouragement thoughtfulness ... <'TK><

good news
Good to hear. Wish you a speedy recovery. If I had one piece of advise it would be take it slow. I thought I was superman when I came home. I myself had a subdural hematoma. They did the same procedure. Drilled a hole in the top of my head for pressure relief and took a section of my skull out to allow for swelling. That was in September of 2001. I was young so I healed fast however Vanderbilt is still proud of their hospital ( I am thankful).

Any chance while they had those holes in your head that they inserted a brain??
I mean, why waste the surgery?
(Sorry fellas, all this gushy, feel good stuff is gonna go to his head and make him think we really like him. He's gotta face the truth someday!)

I can't believe you would post trash talk like this after what TK did for you.
For those who don't know. TK had a very large brain most of which held a wealth of knowledge. We all know that if Merv's brain was put in a humming bird it would fly backwards.
I say tk had because he donated a portion of his brain to be transplanted in Merv's thick skull. Something went wrong. It has been reported that Merv was seen sucking a mule's arse because he thought it was a honey suckle. BTW, tk still has the portion of the brain with the knowledge.
TK, I know you wanted to keep this quiet, however I feel you deserve a medal.
