Thank you so much! My surgery was very successful. They got it all and was benign. Getting along ok - very tired. Quite an unexpected journey. Friends have been great. I wish you success in your recovery!

Wonderful! Being tired is expected. I am still tired a lot after about 5 weeks. I think it is too easy to forget to rest and let our bodies heal. I tend to jump right back into things when I begin to feel good, but am learning I need to sleep more and rest a lot. Something I read online about after-surgery for craniotomy: try painting. I have been doing some of that. That led me to a YouTube video about "neurographic art" which is a term coined in 2014 which mimics, in drawing, the neural pathways of the brain. Incorporates the concept of mindfulness. You might enjoy checking that out.
