    Wikipedia: The superior sagittal sinus, within a human cranium, is an area above/behind the brain, which allows blood veins to span the area, from the top of the head towards the back.

    Figure: Superior sagittal sinus laid open after removal of the skull cap. The chordæ Willisii are clearly seen. The venous lacunæ are also well shown; from two of them probes are passed into the superior sagittal sinus.

    NOT YAWN FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think the guy grobar didn't include a context and I think I gathered it anyway, I got it. It clicked.
    Was the out-of-context part of the message Biles-relevant?

    nah I think you just ticked him into googling "brain" and this is what he found.

    the draining blood thingie, yeah, it was hip like 5 years ago
    I didn't mean anything wrong at you biles, but if he wanted to be shocking and astounding, well, it just plain wasn't

    Messy. One thing I really would hate to have happen to me.

    So, how's your research on the maths behind the brain's inner working going? Or what was it about again? Or did that research finish?

    Good for you! A Life! :cheers:

    What happened though? Did you have to have surgery?

    Are there not alternative methods to shrink the tumor?

    Was the tumor benign?

    Yes, alternative methods were helping a bit during the last year! Relocating to Sofia had mixed results, since the tumour moved along with me. :)

    But thanks to the decisive intervention in wednesday, I hope in the months that follow it I will be able to reheal and to recover my chances for having a fulfilling life, for creating a family, and so on! ;)

    Unless there is complications during the intervention, which could happen as I am too drained to study properly... Then I'll have to return to Nottingham for one more try. (quite scary!)
