I hope you get helpful and friendly nurses. They can make the worst situations bearable, and the best situations joyful. Wishing you all the best!
By the time you get to read this, you'll have a much better idea of what's going on. Best luck with your face ... I know how scary that part can be.
They probably left a chunk of tumour behind, since removing it would have been dangerous. Here's hoping that some medicines come online within the next 5 - 10 years to take care of it!

I'll do the optimistic thinking then. Looking forward to seeing you post again in two weeks or so, and in full health!
See you around!
See you around!
Oh, and make sure to really limit your sudden movements and anything that wobbles your head or increases your internal pressure (e.g., straining). You don't want a CSF leak!
Hey. Just a note to tell everyone I am going to the hospital tomorrow (Monday) and am staying in "The Inn", accommodation rooms in the hospital.
I am going to be sooooo busy tomorrow and will check this post in the morning but may not post. After that it may be 2 - 3 weeks before I can come back.
Thinking negatively, which I usually don't, But with the chance of fun things like Meningitis, and Epileptic damage, and severe nerve damage, can't help but think of what may happen (which it won't)... Here is to all the friends on the internet... I love you all
Talk to you in a few weeks!
2-3 weeks is a long time!
Many people mistake Vestibular Schwannomas for Meniere's Disease.
Fr8Monkey will probably need anti-tumor medicines developed in the next 5-10 years if they took extra pain to spare his right-sided facial muscles. So, people could also remember him when a canvasser comes asking for a spare twenty for some walk, run, or cycle. Two hour's wages are roughly akin to actually working on the science for two hours after getting specialized training to do so.

I already had MRI scans and everything was healthy, but severe hearing loss in both ears (90%+ in one, 70%+ in the other), so menieres disease.
I just had to buy a walking stick. It came into good use when I went to my last jobcentre appointment - stop to cross a road, turn head left to check for cars and OMG SEVERE LEFT RIGHT RAPID REBOUNDING VERTIGO WITH THE STRENGTH ON 10,000 ELEPHANTS. Walking stick stopped me from stumbling around / falling yay.

Man I'm sorry about the hearing loss but good to hear you're still with us.
Several years ago I did fall over on a road though. Fortunately no cars at the time.
Needing a walking stick from your 20s is just terribad embarrassing.
Also everyone assumes I have a physical issue and asks if I'm ok getting up stairs and stuff. My legs work fine but my ears / brain want to knock me to the ground all the time.

It is embarrassing, I agree. But then it's better to use a walking stick than it is to fall over.
Perhaps you could make out it's a fashion statement.
One of the drawbacks of walking sticks is that it robs you of a hand, so that if you're carrying something in one hand and you come across a door, you need a third hand to open it with. And getting a wallet out in shops generally requires two hands, so then you've to find somewhere to park the stick so it doesn't clatter, embarrassingly, to the floor. Every time.
But then a walking stick can come in very handy for fighting off mad dogs and drunks. So it's not all bad.
