Tim-SOOOO-good to hear from you. Welcome back. What is the next course for you now. Hope the recupration comes out okay. If you read one of my other posts day I was lamenting the fact that my sister-in -law told me last xmas that I do not get out enough. So my wife and I laught-what else can you do. I tell her you know-I really think I do not have an AN-my problem is-I don't get out enough. Ha-Ha. Best Wishes-Ron.

Tim,

 Congrats on your continuing recovery, I slipped under the knife 8 days before you and it gets better every day, I had a cerebellum injury and a blood clot that required daily CT's to monitor and hydrocephalus but avoided shunting as it resolved.  In patient rehab was such a help to me as I went from having to be carried by two-three hospital employees to walking backwards catching soccer balls two weeks later.  I am deaf on left side but all other pre surgery symptoms have gone away / improved (xcept the dreaded tinniuts GAKKKKK!)  You probably will if yu haven't already have days that are shortened by hitting a wall (fatigue-wise).  But the more physical stuff I do, the better it gets, my two young daughters consume a great deal of my energy.

Gotta go to sleep, computer outta juice,
Cheers and good luck!
Steve
