Right sided Craniotomy, anyone with experience / advice

[SauvignonBlanche]

I feel fine really all things considered, my head aches (obviously) and my jaw is sore.

I had had read about the clicking feeling from the bone flap and I've had that, it's really weird!

Does anyone know how long that can last?

No experience, sorry, but my dh has a brain tumour, his first craniotomy was 10 years ago. Have you come across the Brain Tumour Charity? They have a facebook page where lots of people discuss their symptoms etc, I imagine you'll find a lot of support there :)

linky It's a closed group so you have to apply to join but I can highly recommend it.

Thank you Prof, that looks great. I've just sent a request to join.
I hope your DH is doing ok.

He's doing fine, no symptoms other than no sense of smell. How about you?

I'm doing surprisingly well thanks, I had a craniotomy on Tuesday and got home yesterday. It all seems a bit surreal. I don't have the histopathology yet obviously, but it's a benign grade one tumour so I'm 'lucky' in that respect.

Wow, that's good going. Dh's was also grade 1 benign, his being a meningioma. He's had 2 ops so far and never been home as quickly as you!

I think they probably wanted rid of me.
I go back next week to have the stitches out, it's a massive scar so I'm not looking forward to that.

Hi sauvignon, glad you're feeling fine after the op:)
Don't worry about the stitches, it woud be numb :) just a bit of a funny sensation.
Glad it all went fine, nice to see you back.
