there was a hole in my skull. I had middle fossa surgery at the University of Iowa for a 1.2 cm VS. One year later, things are great. I can do pretty much whatever I want. My balance is still not perfect, but it keeps improving and its never so much of a problem that I can't do something. Long bike rides; long drives; baseball with my kids; racquetball. I will have one year follow up MRI in early June, which will hopefully confirm good news. It has not always been easy. I've dealt with some anxiety, I have some problems with my eye getting blurry in the cold. But, overall I'm extremely fortunate. In the first few months I posted on here a lot, but then I stopped because I found it sometimes contributed to my anxiety, and there are a lot of people trying to justify their preferred treatment modality. I also made some nice connections, especially with people who had surgery around the same time I did. I have never regretted my choice and I look forward to a relatively normal life.

Thanks for the update!
My surgery was 7 weeks ago today. Still dealing with some dizziness, but it's good to hear that these things can continue to improve, even over the course of a year. When I get better enough we'll have to play some racquetball :)

Your information is very good.

Update: I had my one year follow up MRI this week and everything was clear. I don't have to go back for four years! So happy!
