First shower after brain surgery. After my 11th brain surgery, this was the moment I finally got to see everything clearly — including the incision. Honestly, I was shocked at how much smaller the scar is this time. Recovery is still early and the outcome is still uncertain, but moments like this make the process feel a little more manageable. For anyone going through traumatic brain injury recovery or major surgery, the little milestones matter more than people realize. #brainsurgery #hospital #brainsurgerysurvivor #science #healthupdate #funny #neurointerventional #couple #neurosurgeon #pregnant
