craniotomy swelling

[Jodieb73]

I had a Craniotomy procedure 10 months ago I still have the right side of my scull exposed awaiting reconstructive surgery

My head seems to swell quite a bit at the moment again where it’s exposed does anyone else have this problem

Hi Jodie,

I had the left side of my skull removed in France 10yrs ago and it took me just over 4mths to get it replaced with titanium. As you may expect I was given a protective cap to wear if I was going on walks outdoor.

Hope you get sorted soon👍🏻

Oh no 2 years that not good thank you for replying I guess it’s time to get used to it then! Just really puts a barrier in the way to get on and find someone to ignore the situation and go away to my life abroad. Where do you live? Maybe I stand more chance not in the uk

Hope everything goes well with your son

Best of luck
