Title: One year since my surgery
Post by: block on January 11, 2007, 02:50:14 pm

I am fast approaching the one year anniversary of my surgery.Looking back I feel as though I was close to 100% recovered after 6 weeks although I did return to work on a part-time basis after 3 weeks.If anyone has any concerns or questions about their upcoming surgery I will be glad to share my experiance.

Yeah Block!  What type of surgery did you have an how large was your tumor?
I think the first year is the hardest!  I'm hoping my second gets easier  ;D

My surgery was translab.I had already lost all functional hearing in my right ear so the choice was easy.My hearing went bad very quickly,almost in a matter of a few days.I will get a one year MRI sometime in the next few weeks.The few weeks following the surgery sure forced me to step back and reacess everything but in the end I am glad I got it done.
