@mrector after meeting with Dr. Riemer he ordered another MRI to rule out the possibility of an aneurysm due to the impact of the ICA. I meet with his partner the day before surgery as both doctors will be involved during the surgery. Can you share with me what to expect after surgery, ie, while still in the hospital and then after going home. I hope you are continuing to heal and gaining strength. I think it would be helpful if we all lived close as to have group meetings to help each other through this. I lost my daughter 1.5 years ago to blood clots (she had pancreatic cancer).

@kmart I am praying for you. I'm sorry for your loss of your daughter.
After surgery I was in ICU for 2 days. My left eye swelled shut after surgery and face was swollen. I was on morphine so I don't remember a lot. I don't remember being in pain. When I came home I took Tylenol for any pain I had. I was very weak so I stayed with my mom for a few days. I had no energy and slept a lot. After about 7 weeks after surgery I started feeling like me again. My energy level is still not great but I also have a bad back, so that doesn't help. My vision is getting worse in my left eye but my neurosurgeon said that would happen. I will have MRIs every 6 months for the rest of my life to monitor the remaining tumor and if it grows I will have radiation therapy. If you have any specific questions please ask and I will try to answer them. I'll post a picture of me almost 2 days after surgery so you can see. It looks worse than it felt
