Probably not.
Surgery totally squicks me out. But let's assume it didn't...

Thing is, I've had it for SO long, and for so long undiagnosed, looking back I can't separate it out. If this surgery were now, after all that, it might well prove a double suffering. I've already done the suffering of those decades and it wouldn't give me those decades back. At this point, what would I really gain? The losses would not be overcome, even if my brain were suddenly "fixed".

Let's say it's retroactive. Would I have had the same level of creativity? Would my brain be able to play fast and loose making outside-the-box thinking the norm? Those things are REALLY important to me. They're who I AM. Who would I be??

Yes, it can really, really, REALLY suck. The chaos, the pain. I just think there's not much it would solve for me at this point, and it's inexorably connected with me. I don't know who I would be.

P.s. I can't imagine being "normal", BP or not.
