It should start at 36:17 for the explanation,
but this is an entire episode.
Some is my explanation.
Some is my explanation.
I was at real-life sci-fi, Stanford University with a brain injury. Like the woman explains her case, treatment was experimental, so was mine. There was probably a current study for my type of surgery. I got into this program. There is a technique now available. It may be related.
The picture is me. I am 47 years old in the picture. I could easily pass for 37, but I don't look near 50.
I don't believe that surgery is entirely responsible for my situation. It doesn't account for anything occurring prior to surgery.
The brain bleed in 2002 does not account for situations occurring prior to a bleed. Childhood is much earlier. An in utero bleed could account for the earlier time, but that is speculation.
I've been smart all my life. Just deal with it.

I had an AVM in my head that should have exploded and killed me. Government policy is to let this happen. I was set to die.
I met someone at Stanford University who thought differently. Stanford removed the AVM. The government and my previous health insurance thought this was too risky. They wouldn't do it.
I'm getting better, but everything is set up for me to die. Persons at the government program that I was in told me that I was imagining improvement. It is very slow. 15 years later I am still getting better, and I'm still set to die.

I was thinking about what I can do now. I can watch live SpaceX videos!
I can write now. I still can't do other things people take for granted, but I write. It's not earth-shattering to me that I write. Writing was a top score area in grade school. Those tests back then were predicters of success.
What will be Earth-shattering is my age. I don't look it.
From what I gather, all damage was cleared by the surgery that did stroke repair. This included the age damage that appeared over the years. So yes, the surgery made me appear younger.
I was 34 years old at time of surgery and up to 34 years of damage were removed. I would believe then that I would not show aging damage for the next 34 years. I will be 34 for a very long time. Aging would then pick up again after 34 years.
So I'll start getting old again at age 68; maybe, we'll see. Aging may be slowed until age 68. All I can do is watch for grey hair and wrinkles.
Something else may have happened. Hair going from straight to curly without the use of that type of product can denote a change of DNA structure. If my DNA was changed, comic book theory could exist. I'll have to wait and see what happens.
