AccidentalChef Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Nice brain, Kimo. Too bad they wouldn't let you keep the extra piece. I would have complained more; it's your brain, after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dantheman0177 Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Nice brain, Kimo. Too bad they wouldn't let you keep the extra piece. I would have complained more; it's your brain, after all. I agree. Still, good to see it's basically in one piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carvedog Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I have to tell when I looked at the pic, my six yr old came and peaked over my shoulder. Immediately she says - Is that someone's brain? Why did they put all those letters in there? What are they spelling in there dad? Then when I explained a bit. " Oh that's cool. I am glad he is going to be alright." I mentioned the bit about you snowboarding over the weekend. Hope everything keeps going on the recovery trail. Now my daughter is rooting for you too.

D.T. Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Funny story, I just ran into Dustin in Boulder today while I was out doing errands. Hey Kimo, It was good to see you and meet Cherie on Saturday. It's great to actually see how well you are doing!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Stan/Jen have pictures from the lift chair and parking lot that I'm waiting to see. Come on guys, I posted my picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 They could see your brain from the chairlift??? That's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Yes. I had the surgeon put a skylight in instead of the original piece of skull bone. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pebu Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 So do you have to put sunscreen on the skylight when you go out on a bright day? I mean, you wouldn't want your brain getting sunburnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Well, that's the real reason my surgeon insisted I wear a helmet... sun protection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateW Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 My girlfriend's best friend's brother had a section of skull removed, about the size of a silver dollar. I've forgotten what the operation was about... but anyway, they actually gave him the bone piece to take home. GF said he looked really weird with this section missing from his head. Punch line: the doctors later put the piece of bone back in. That is just the weirdest most bizarre thing. It's not surprising to me that they let him have it, but it blows me away that they'd put it back in after letting him (any patient, really) have custody of it. Seems like a recipe for infection?!? I'm told he's doing fine though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Can you just pour beer directly on it now? Pipe the camelback into your helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimo Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 You could, but that would mean I wouldn't get to taste it. I suppose that's an advantage for regular old crap beer, but for the finer beers, such as that superb and outstanding long time favorite of mine, Miller Lite, I require (nay, demand) passage over my tastebuds en route to the old lump of neurons up stairs. Then it's on to the Scotch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor VonRippington Posted June 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 Here's Kimo enjoying a refreshing Lite beer after a grueling day on the hill. Are those lite potato chips you are eating Kimo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEJ Posted June 12, 2008 Report Share Posted June 12, 2008 Jeez, looking at that picture makes me realize I live in the wrong state. Last season is a distant memory for me, and you guys are still riding! What do you have, like a three month off season before it starts snowing again?

It snowed four inches Sat night at the Basin, flurries all day yesterday and this afternoon! Aspen is open for the weekend... but now that the lifts stopped turning in these parts it really needs to stop snowing. Hopefully we'll be back at it in October.
