You know after my surgery I had this goose egg (I call it) on the side of where my surgery took place. I had mentioned this in previous posts. The Doc said that it would take about a year to sort-a re-absorb back into my noggin. Well a few days ago it started to get smaller and then I woke up and it is gone. I feel like I lost a tooth or something. Anyway that was last reminder (other than my ssd) that I had the surgery. Woohoo.... Now I wonder if I will have like a "goose egg AN fairy" that may drop a 50 or 100 spot under my pillow. Anyone else run into this? thanks for your posts.....

I had a "goose egg" (as you put it) also, but mine went down and away after about 2 months post-op. I was told it was CSF under the skin and eventually would go away. After a few weeks on Diamox (diuretic) to help make it go away, having a slow growing allergic reaction to Diamox and 4 more days in the hospital it finally went away on it's own a few days after being off of the Diamox. Go figure. I kinda like the idea of a Goose Egg AN Fairy leaving a 50 or 100 spot for me every year. ;)

You guys are lucky that yours went away. I am over 2 years post op and still have it. I had a huge problem with csf leaks and they had to take out my ear drum.....so luckily i have long hair to cover that bad boy up :)

My goose egg is in the crosshairs as we speak. Healing this stubborn leak is the last hurdle and I am so looking forward to that! If the goose egg fairy is going to visit, then I am due for a windfall! This thing was, at its worst, truly the size of a small egg stuck to the side of my head :-\.
