After Surgery, Side View without bandage.  I'm thinking the scar will start to look more defined with time.  I'm considering growing a beard and having it longer than the hair on my head.  The neurosurgeon said he put two small plates in my head.  I was upset to learn that they aren't magnetic.  I was thinking of neat tricks I could show my kids if the plates were magnetic.

After Surgery, Front View without bandage.  The black eye is from blood pooling.  It's funny to say that my wife beats me though.  The mark in the front of my forehead is from a brace that held my head still during surgery.  There are 2 more such marks on the back of my head.
