Skull jewellery removal

If you have been following my Blipfotos over the last few days you would know that my wife has undergone brain surgery for an aneurism. After the operation to correct the situation, she had a number of metal staples inserted into her head.
I must say that the removal of these items after the healing process had taken place really spooked me out. Now it so happened that I was present when this was to take place.
It was rather a gruesome process and she seemed to feel a twinge as each staple was removed. You can see the instrument used for the elimination of these items. I was thankful that her skull remained intact afterwards.
