So day before yesterday, I went to another city for an appointment with my doctor for a routine checkup. I already went through two brain surgeries and I won't talk about it in detail but if you want to find out the whole scenario read the below article.
I would brief a little about it though. I went through brain surgery 3 years ago and they remove the infected frontal skull bone with it. And last year I went through another surgery in which they filled that empty place with a titanium mesh implant. So now I am a titanium man. 😂
The problem is a wound appeared in the old stitch of my skull so I visited my doctor 3 months back. He prescribed to put antiseptic gel on it but it didn't work out and instead of repairment, the infection started to grow. So I visited the doctor for a checkup. He advised me to shave my head as maybe the hair is infecting the wound and keep on wearing a surgical mask over my head to keep the wound safe from dust etc. But he also gave me this worrisome news that maybe my body is not accepting this titanium mesh so if I do not recover in the next two months, they will remove the titanium mesh again.
Thinking about going through the 3rd surgery just makes me feel suffocated. I mean arent two surgeries enough. I was feeling complete after they put the mesh in my skull. I really wish you guys do not go through this but imagine living without frontal skull bone. I was worried when they removed the bone. But when they placed the mesh I felt complete and everything has started feeling normal.
I am trying to be an optimist here and I cant afford to go through another surgery physically, not financially. So I have shaved my head and now started wearing surgical masks and I really hope everything works out for me.
I am not ashamed to confess that I do get scared sometimes. I never take my life seriously and I had no plans for my life. But my life changed 360 degrees after becoming a father. All my priorities got changed and now whenever I am overthinking about these medical situations, I do get scared for my son as I want to see him grow and live his life to the fullest. I want to give him what I missed in my life and for that, I have to remain healthy and work my ass off.
Oh no. I hope you will be fine and that your body isn't rejecting the titanium. I hope the wound will heal and you won't need any more surgeries.
