just wanted to say hi, welcome to the forum. I'm not familiar with the specifics you speak of, I know you will get lots of support here.

Hi, I had my crainioplasty last December. I had a brain stem stroke and brain bleeding and swelling from a rollover car accident last August. Recovery time is different for each individual. Seven months after my crainioplasty and I feel crappy on most days. I'm easily fatigued but mercifully I don't get headaches very often. I have had a couple of days in the last few weeks where I felt mostly OK, although walking is very hard and painful (I'm experiencing diabetic neuropathy in my left leg also). Just be patient. It may take some time before you feel OK again. Best of luck.
