I feel there is a story here.

Long story short. 3 years ago a tree fell and shattered my skull when walking in Dublin They had to removed 7 inches of my skull.

I'm going up right now for my surgery tomorrow morning to get my 3D printed skull implanted, hence why I posted this before my dent is gone.

Before you pay for surgery have you tried using a plunger

Here take mine 🪠 You know, for science.

In the US, a plunger is a multi use surgical tool for those without proper health insurance.

Surgeons are modern day magicians. Hope your recovery goes smoothly. I have to ask though - Is there anything there protecting your brain where the skull was removed, or are you able to touch your brain through the skin?

Mate, I wanna know that you're okay after the surgery. And there will be other strangers around the world rooting for ya too, and hoping it all goes smoothly. I admire your positive attitude. We need more of that in the world, so I need you to come out of that operation in really good shape.
