Out of surgery.

(photo taken last night)

Surgery has been completed and the Dr is happy with how it has gone. Laurie has now been moved to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) which is normal and will be monitored closely. The next 24hrs will be critical to how Laurie recovers.

Why the name of this blog?

You may have been wondering about the reference to Rocket Science in the name of this blog. Well it started at the end of 2006 when I needed another Craniotomy. A work colleague at the time, Kevin Ferguson, and Gary were examining my MRI scans which showed that the tumour was in the shape of an inverted mushroom. Gary and Kevin were kidding around and decided that if they used a teaspoon, then they could get in there and scoop out the tumour for me. Once they had it out, they thought they could use a mushroom or champagne cork to fill the hole. They were going to do a Craniotomy on the cheap! After all, they argued, it was only brain surgery, not rocket science!....We all had a good laugh at the time.

It is certainly not meant to be de-valuing the skills of brain surgieons Michael Redmond and David Walker, who beteeen them, have keptme alive three times now! I just wanted to make that clear. :-) LB
