[defeodation]

Ok...I don't get it. I'm following the info on the wiki. I'm still not able to get these stupid bone hole sutures to work.

When I try to drill a hole it just tells me I missed the bone flap.

What am I doing wrong? I can get to the part where I pull off the bone flap easily enough. However once I get it removed I have all kinds of bleeders that I can't stop, no matter what I try.

I can stop a few of them with the bone wax, but the ones on the dura mater won't stop. The electrocauterizer doesn't seem to do anything. I can't even tell which end of the thing I'm supposed to use. It has two prongs on the left side, and I guess I'm supposed to center it over the bleeder, but that never does anything.

The only way I can stop the bleeding is to cheat and put the bone flap back in, close the skin flap and then reopen it. That seems like it tricks the computer into forgetting about the bleeders.

AFter that I smooth out the rough edges of the bone, drill away the sphenoid ridge and all is well up to this point.

I put the needle drill bit on, slide the metal ribbon under the edge of the bone and try to do what is shown on the wiki.

I can't for the life of me get it to let me drill a hole that is actually all the way on the bone. It just says I've missed the bone flap...but that can't be right because the bone flap is on the tray!

The only side I can get is the upper left side, as it has a fairly exposed piece of bone on the edge. The other 3 sides don't show that "white part" though.

I can drill holes close to the edge, but as soon as I remove the ribbon, 90% of the hole goes away and I'm left with a little black speck on the edge of the bone. I can't get sutures through them. I can sometimes get a suture into the one on the upper left, but nowhere else. Not even in the middle of the dura mater.

Can anyone advise me a little here?
