I had my cranioplasty 3 months ago they had to throw my boneflap away as it had been eaten by the infection that i got after my tumour was removed. I am no where near ready for work 3 major ops within 8 months one step at a time and like you i get dizzy spells and also a tightness over where the plate is good luck with your recovery.
