Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on my experience. I went through the translabyrinthine surgery last Thursday to remove a 2cm tumor from the left side of my head. Surgery lasted about 8 hours and they believe they were able to get everything out without impacting the facial nerve. I had some nausea immediately after surgery but was feeling much better the following morning. No major complications since. I am taking short walks each day and getting used to working on the computer again. The headaches and fatigue are the most frustrating thing at this time, but it gets a little better every day. I will be seeing the doctor tomorrow for my first follow-up and I believe they will be removing these ugly stitches. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my outcome so far and truly feel blessed! :)

That's wonderful news. I'm so glad to hear things went so smoothly for you! I'm having translab surgery on May 11th to remove a 1.3cm tumor so it's encouraging to hear positive outcomes like yours. :)

Congrats on being a postie, Tx.
Word of advice on the SSD - if you find that you just can't cope with it (I definitely couldn't) look into a BAHA.
I had a BAHA implant 9 months post AN op and it's been something I've never regretted.
BAHAs rock!
