@kdog1957 Yes, I was curious if you had bone invasion and if you had lost bone that was replaced by a titanium mesh. Not too many patients have my experience. The area of the incision was numb for about 3 months, then I got my feeling back. I can sense the screws that hold the titanium mesh in place and on some days the interface between mesh and bone - a reminder of the surgery but no pain. I asked the question about the stability of the titanium mesh. My neurosurgeon told me that it can take a heavy impact - everything my skull bone could. I could still go skiing if I wanted without worrying about a head injury.
