Greg ~

Congratulation 'postie'!  Apparently the surgery went splendidly!  I can recall hating the head bandage but I convinced my doctor to remove it after two days.  I trust your head bandage will be off soon and that your recovery will continue apace.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

Greg,
Wow, posting already! You must be very fit, since they couldn't find enough fat to patch up your hole. :) Wish  I could say the same ::)
So take it easy and don't overdo it.  Let us know how the days progress. Easy on the bending over/ May cause those post op headaches.
Congrats!

Congrats on at successful surgery!  Please do keep us posted as you progress and remember to listen to your body. 
Only had the compression bandage for my CSF surgery, it was so uncomfortable.  Hopefully it will be off shortly!
