Hi everyone,
Today is the first day that the headaches didn't overcome much of my day so I thought I would catch everyone up again. I am sure you saw my pics.
Bessie is gone. Dr. Barrow verified good blood flow and the surgery was successful. I am still having a good bit of headaches throughout the day, especially after the really good medicine ran out. I am finding a heating pad works the best placed at the base of my neck.
I felt some numbness on my right hands (two middle fingers) which unnerved me a little bit, but I am hoping its because I forgot to take my anti-seizure meds twice in a row and not something stemming from the surgery. If it happens again, I am going to reach out to the surgeon.
Has anyone noticed that after a craniotomy, everything tastes the same? There is a really annoying and unpleasant taste that follows everything I eat, no matter how spicy or sweet it is. I've lost 7 lbs really quickly because I am not hungry at all nor does anything taste good. Did anyone go through this after a craniotomy? Maybe it's should be something I bring up the surgeon.
Well, this is about my limit now. It feels good to be back. Look forward to talk to many of you again.
