After DBS Mood
Monday, April 28, 2008 | A General Update story
I'm home now.  I avoid the mirror because I look like crap.   I have this huge "V" of staples in my forehead, gooey stuff in my hair and my chest looks lumpy.   Don't feel so well either.   The doctor said no showers for 3 days and not to get the incisions wet.  I just want to sleep the whole day away.
