Wow... staples? Was that because they did something different cause this is your 2nd surgery? I just had sutures and they were the kind that dissolved so I didn't even have to have those "taken out". I'm sure you'll do just fine though. I mean after having major brain surgery... TWICE, what's a few staples right? :)

Nope.  At least it didn't hurt having mine out.  In fact, Dr Heffez's assistant did it while he and I chatted and I didnt even know when she was done!
