18 Months/2 years

(I like anniversaries.)

Today marks a year and a half since brain surgery. Sunday will be two years since heart surgery.

Life summary:

• I'm thisclose to being caught up in school from medical leave
• I defended my master's last month (on to prelims and dissertation!). Bam.
• I still have (too much) fun making people touch my skull hole and watching them squirm. Really doubting this will ever get old.
• I think I need to name my titanium screws because they annoy me 90% of the time... and clearly, the most effective way to deal with weird shit in your body is to name it. Makes it easier to swear at. Suggestions welcome.
• My hair has almost completely grown back post-surgery shave (probably one more haircut and it'll be there). Bam again. I have been very conscious this summer of how lovely it's been to be able to just throw my hair up in a bun or ponytail without strategically placing 43290853 bobby pins.
• Normal heart rates are underrated. I'm still really enjoying mine. 
• Life is pretty good indeed.
