I'm a 26 year old former teacher turned full time graduate student. I live in Southern California after a 3 year stint in New Orleans with my husband Slappy (formerly The Fiance) and our cats (yea, we're those people).
In February of 2006 I was diagnosed with Chiari Malformation, which is a fancy way of saying that my brain was too big for my skull (get it? overflowing brain). On November 27th, 2007 I had brain surgery which allows my brain to exist indefinitely in my spinal canal. 13 staples, one cow heart lining and a multitude of doctors and medications later, I'm living a much improved decompressed life.

Wow wow wow. So, like, everything is going fine since the surgery? I'm megacurious about this.
Hi Katie,
Hey, it looks like your incision is healing up nicely! So glad that things are going well for you. Enjoy your "vacation" in CA!
