Did anyone watch the 2nd episode, i saw it on catch up.
Was very interested to see the patients recuperating and sitting quietly with eyes closed.
I still do that such a lot, made me realise just how badly i was affected. If these people could return to work after a few months and here i am 8 years on having trouble functioning daily on a regular basis!!!

Yes I saw it Janet, and I had the same reaction of .........'What ? they're compass mentis after a couple of days and home within a week!'.......Has brain surgery advanced so much since we were treated ?
But, thinking on, there'll be a massive difference between the damage done by hydrocephalus or a bleed, and a successful, organised, controlled procedure.
I have to admit to averting my eyes slightly during the 'squishy' close-ups. But although I've heard of conscious brain surgery it's the first time I've seen it performed ; it totally makes sense and fascinating to watch.
I guess the description of slightly overstepping the warning signs of a patient's failing responses during surgery is typical of the delicate balance of judgement these brilliant surgeons face regularly !
And the neuropsychology lady's comment about practice/practice/practice 'til the plasticity works its magic made me smile.
I hadn't realised there are only two episodes 😯 ; I've been looking forward to more. 🤔 Love Eileen xxx
I watched it and found it really Interesting I found it strange to watch them operating on the brain whilst the y were awake and the fact that there is still so much to learn about the brain! Im looking forward to the next program and to add hi Eileen I hope your feeling well take care david xx
Hi David ; I almost missed your post ! I'm doing ok apart from the usual creaks and rusty bits ! I've been mostly isolating apart from doing some jobs in the garden at my daughter's new house (made a new path and shed door along with some digging & planting).
How have you been throughout this weird period in history ? ...... I hope you've been managing to keep your spirits up ?
