I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.

"His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.".

Not just his skull, too. That's horrifying.

Wonder if it destroyed his nerve ending at the same rate. One can only hope.
