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

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.

I had a large frontal lobe meningioma removed January 2025. I recently read an article from AARP that described symptoms of various kinds of dementia. My symptoms exactly matched the description of frontotemporal dementia. One of the signs was that I was paying bills late or not at all. My credit report got hosed thanks to that. Fortunately cognitive function returned almost immediately after surgery. After getting home from the hospital I had to spend a weekend fixing my screwed up finances.
