Hello, I am 47 years old, a female and 8 months out from fourth ventricle surgery to remove an Ependymoma. I wasn't really given a choice. It was about 2cm cube. I had one incident of numb face and forgetfulness that lasted less than two minutes. I thought it was my sinuses. I had been struggling with vertigo for about a year. I am better, however not right. I have vertigo all the time. I see double and one eye jumps. I am grateful to be alive, however I did not have a clue what was going to happen. Cognitive level is the same, physical is a struggle. I wish I could be more helpful, I found this desperately searching for answers as to why recovery seems so slow. I find it is normal, which sucks. Sorry
