    Default Torn open brain

    Experiences, tips, or spoilers plz.

    A piece of tonga rock fell on my open brain this morning. Tonight I see a small tear (maybe 0.5 in. diameter) with guts protruding. I have read before on here that this can be almost be certain fatality?

    I've decided to sew him with dissolving stitches...

    He is about 6 inches when fully ballooned. His guts are hanging out a little bit today. He's still shriveled (MH hasn't kicked on yet) but his tentacles are out like he's never been fed.

    I assume you can save it, but it is not typical.

    I fed him last night before bed. Since the lights have been on today he looks great, fully expanded. The hole is smaller and his guts are in his body.

    I would think it would heal fine. I have had this happen a couple of times over the years, and never had a problem. The cut just heals back up.

    Thanks to all who replied. He has healed very nicely over a 2 day period. I don't even see the tear anymore.
