Christine, thank you for your kind words, my thoughts will be with you as yo go forward. One additional item that may or may not affect you that I though I might mention is in regards to driving privileges. The day that I was diagnosed, the neurosurgeon on duty told me that it is one thing to drive and not know I have a brain tumor, but quite another to drive knowing of the tumor. He then advised me to not drive. My license was not taken away or suspended, it was all on the honor system, which I obeyed, as there iss a lot at stake, e.g. woould m6 Insurance cover me if I chose to drive and got into an accident? Fortunately, my wife was able to drive me to my out patient therapy sessions, but as soon as that finished, I explored in earnest how to safely and legally resume driving. I ended up retaking my state’s written test followed by the practical driving test, just like a teenager, both of which I aced and resumed driving 6 months after my diagnosis. I also needed my doctor to submit a form attesting that I was physically fit to drive, and I also needed an opthamologist’s concurrence. None of this is simple. I forgot to mention that because of the close association with my optic nerve, regular opthamologist visits were also prescribed after my surgery. This may not apply to you, as you have noted. I have also been placed on the anti-seizure med Keppra, which I take twice daily, and it has worked well for me. I hope that this info on my post surgery experuiences is helpful to you in understanding what to expect. Once again, best of luck to you, Christine, one day you, too, will be looking at all of this in your rear view mirror. Regards, Fiddlinchuckchuck
