hi guys just a quick update,looks like i had a small leak of brain fluid and also some of the fatty tissue must have been absorbed.ear infection was never going to clear up due to the ear always being moist.so they are going to seal ear canal up clear out infection and maybe put some more fat in there.also from day 1 walking,driving always had wonky wobbly head,looking at the mri doc said due to bones being removed from op brain fluid is present in op area.just got to adjust.op should be the 28th july keep you posted.

Steve ~

Thanks for the update.  I'm sorry to learn about the post-op complications but hope they can be successful repaired without any more problems.

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.
