August 16 2007, UCLA Medical Center...
I kept telling the PA that she was screwing the pin into my temple, that the bone was higher up. She kept telling me that I needed to know the difference between pressure and pain. Right then the blood started squirting out, just as the Chief of Neurosurgery walked into the room to see how things were going. I pulled out my pocket camera after they made the adjustment and set the pin where it needed to be.
I'm posting this shot because it captures the intensity of a huge event in my life, not to reflect poorly on UCLA. The Doctors, staff and facilities there are amazing. During the course of my treatment there I have met some of the most brilliant people ever, and they really push the envelope in terms of skills and research.
Without them I would be crippled today, likely dead. Instead I am working my way back up through the grades. Those Josh 5.8's and 5.9's are feeling pretty doable and I'm better every time out now. Of course I know from experience there is a big plateau waiting for me... Pushing through that'll be a test. I see some quality time at Stoney Point in my future, but that's for another thread. First that place has to dry out.

Jim E,
Curious what's the deal there... A regular EEG or a "digitrace" where they wrap your head up in a turban like deal and you wear it around for a few days?

It was a 72 hour EEG. The purpose was to see if I still needed to take anti-seizure meds. I'm very happy to report I successfully weaned off the meds one year ago and have had no seizure activity since.

No trundling the beluga's, I prefer to aim for motor homes.

Paul,
How far from Windy Point was that shot taken? I used to solo those cliffs around there--before I knew it was called soloing--and sit there watching belugas by the hundreds for hours on end.
Might've dropped a marshmallow or two on the Dreaded RVs during the summer herd migration, too...;-)
