Ok --- when I had my surgery I had a cranioplasty (I think thats the right word -they took out a part of my skull and put in a new better plate). I know it is going to take time for the bone graft to fully knit and heal.

So a friend asks me the other day "Do you think the bone graft would be problematic until it knits and gets full circulation?"

That never really crossed my mind. My surgeon is the top of his league in Chiari research but not diving. I know this is not to be construed as medical advise here either.

I live in waterless hell *aka* Atlanta so I won't be diving anytime soon, just curious what some thoughts would be on the issue.

Thanks!
