When my remaining blood was able to flow freely once more, they drained it out of my body, along with as much water as possible, and substituted it with glycerol, which Chip described to me as a cryoprotective agent — antifreeze, if you will, although much more benign than the stuff I used to put in my car — and they cut a tiny hole in my skull so they could watch my brain and make sure that it didn't shrink or swell past certain allowable parameters.
