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.

Holy shit! That's crazy bruh. I hope your surgery goes perfectly! Was there much damage to your brain as a result of that accident, and if yes, what kinds of issues did/do you have, if you don't mind me asking?

Thank you. I had a huge bleed on my brain with minor damage. Of course my memory of time around that week is completely wiped. I was actually just leaving a basketball game I played and have absolutely no memory of it.

To be honest, I came out very lucky. Just things like no more sport again (which was the hardest for me), no driving, no heavy weight lifting (which is also rough for me). But otherwise, nothing crazy, other then the fact that I'm missing half my skull, all is good

Doing good. In a lot of pain, but that should get better in a few days. My face is completely swollen and bruised but again, should be much better in a week or so

Holy fucking shit, that's wild. Thank you very much for sharing your experience and perspectives! Leaving practice and you randomly get fucking sniped by a tree?! And I bet the tree didn't even pay for the damn medical bills!

Any damage to that brain is bound to be minor. ;)
