Brain Blog is Back!

Brain Blog 2.0 (#1) 2009

As many of you know, I've got a brain defect. Now that might be apparent to some, and perhaps news to others. To solve the problem, I had a system installed in my body 5 years ago called "Deep Brain Stimulation" (DBS) which allows me to function like a normal human being (again debtable). The DBS is powered by batteries embedded in my chest, which are to be replaced on monday after 5 years of yeoman duty. So, for this grand occasion, I've dusted off the original brain blogs from my surgery in 2004, and intiated a new brain blog.

Call it brain blog redux. You can follow it at www.hanksbrainblog.blogspot.com

The procedure will take place Monday at hospital u Svaty Anny here in Brno. I'm doubtful about having reliable internet access, so you can also follow the action with up-to-the-minute reports via Twitter from radiodog88. I may even convince the surgeon to tweet will I'm under sedation :-)

Today I'm checking into the hospital for an expected 10-day stay, and look forward to once again sharing the experience with you. So go back and read the originals, and let's renew our journey.

Until the next post.

Ciao,

Hank
