Hi @lauragal
You are incredibly brave! What you went through sounds so intense, and I'm so grateful the surgeons at UTSW were able to save your life. It takes real courage to go through brain surgery and then relearn so many things.
Wishing you continued strength💜!
Chris

@santosha Thank YOU So Very Much, Chris! I Deeply Appreciate Your Kindness.. I Definitely Needed To Read This Today! One Of The MOST Painful Side-Effects Of Brain Surgery Has Been The Way People That USED To Be My Close Friends Suddenly Decide To Be SO Cruel To Me… Because I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON I USED TO BE BEFORE THE BRAIN SURGERY…. At Times Like These I Honestly Regret Having Tge Surgery. Believing I Would Have Been Better Dying While I Still Had Kind Friends In My Life.
