[Health, Terror] Two Days After the US Election.....

.....Thoughts naturally turn to trepanation.

Life has truly changed since my skull trepanation four months ago. It is hard to believe that such a short time ago my life was so limited. So much has been unlocked of the unlimited ability of achievements it is almost unbelievable to think of the suppressed world I lived in before trepanation. I can remember it and it's already a distant memory. I can't believe I was struggling so hard with everything. Getting myself trepanned was a struggle too. Due to living in a limited world of thought and behavior I could see no way of financially affording the costs of getting trepanned.. My fears would precipitate into outrage and anger bursts. I could not envision any way of affording the trip and medical expenses. As much as I wanted to be trepanned, my reoccurring thought was that the operation may not improve my life and that I would not be able to work to pay back the debts that I'd be taking on. This fear caused irrational behavior in my thoughts and actions. I even prepared to do the operation for myself thinking that I'd succeed at it still knowing how ridiculous this was.
