Welp, it wasn't discovered till years after the divorce, which meant even though it was fixed, it still sucked (I was seven when that happened, early teens when the surgery occurred).

As for pain, there wasn't that, just pressure on the brain itself. He had absolutely no localized awareness anything was going on upstairs. The brain itself is insensate, so I've read.
