Looks like surgery is going to take around 4 hours. They'll remove a chunk of skull, cut through the arachnoid membrane, shift the major vein aside, cut through a section of the corpus callosum and then remove my cyst. Then they'll patch me up, put two titanium plates in my skull and wake me up.
All going according to plan I can expect to wake up with a headache, and feel pretty dazed. He suggests I should be off work for around a month but only time will tell. I'm hoping I recover faster than this, too many things to do!
The good news is that should everything go to plan I can go to kiwicon. Flying shouldn't be an issue.
Worst case scenario I have a stroke or something similar but this is supposedly very unlikely. I may also experience some short term memory problems. However, these may only be noticeable in testing rather than to me directly. Still, I'm hoping everything goes well, not keen on experiencing brain damage firsthand.
Still, tomorrow morning, around 8, I'll be headed for surgery. Wish me luck. I'll try to keep posting if I'm able to concentrate long enough.
