@ittybitty ok, well the two years had me struggling the first 9 months, my tumor was just under glioblastoma next one down. march 29th was two years from first surgery and shortly after that they had to go back in the same spot as the first because of a brain bleed. Mine was right frontal lobe area but was massive and cancerous. had two ground seizures days just before my surgery, after the last one i lost my short term memory and had peripheral vision loss in my left eye to almost half. have had to learn how to overcome and adapt. well i have to go feed some critters so i will get back to you in a little while.

@randallshields56 Part two that brings us up too having to relearn speech somewhat but mostly cognitive functions and slowing my speech down. had to train my brain to think of what i wanted to say before i said what i wanted to say.
had to learn balance all over again and it took about a year before i could as you say start getting ahead of myself, seemed like i could not heal as fast as i wanted and it was taking forever. had other difficulties that are hard to mention, like severe anxiety that was manifested in my subconscious along with depression and not being able to control anything like i had done for the last 50 years.
