Benign brain tumor in the front: I'm freaking out

Honestly, mine was removed after my follow-up from the ER visit. I went to his office, and surgery was scheduled right then, but the aftercare was HORRIBLE! I am still struggling. My cognitive abilities are not like it used to be; my short-term memory is not that good, long-term memory is great. My surgery was on 7/24/2024, and I have seen him once since the major surgery. That's to make a long story short.

When I asked my neurologist how long it would take for my cognitive function to recover, he said 18 months after the meningioma removal. He was right. I could tell this by how long it took me to completely track and control my finances and pay bills on time.

juju76: Are you saying your aftercare in the hospital was horrible? My understanding is craniotomy patients go from surgery to the intensive care or a "step down" unit where the patient to nurse ratio is 1 to 3. Surely your neurosurgeon didn't discharge you to "the floor." After 2 prior non-brain related surgeries I was discharged to "the floor" and my experience was less than stellar. But I was told my neurosurgeon only allows his patients to be released from surgery to intensive care or the step down unit. Maybe a good question for those meeting with their doctor for a future surgery.
