I recently had a craniotomy to remove a meningioma that was growing around my carotid artery (right side). My tumour had been slowly growing over the last 10 years and caused bone growth in my optic canal, so they also had to drill into my optic-canal to relieve pressure on my brain because it was causing temporal seizures.
I’m currently 6 weeks into recovery and am just looking for support/tips that helped your experience with recovery. Right now I have a locked jaw and am very fatigue after minor activities, sensitive to light and sound.
Has anyone experienced these post-op symptoms? If so, how long did it take to recover?
