I'm not quite sure how to phrase this, but here goes: during this procedure did you experience anything that you feel you could not have experienced absent someone physically poking your brain?

In short, no. The operation itself lasted for over 12hrs, but I am only aware of (approximately) the first hour. So weird shit may have happened, but I have no memory of it.

How come you only remember the first hour?

Mostly because I had severe head trama! =) lol At some point they put me out, so that messes with your memory too, but I think `brain surgery` is a good reason to not being able to remember.

If you get into a car accident and hit your head or get a concussion you don't remember everything either.
