Had my craniotomy/laminaectomy/duraplasty on November 7 in Houston. Out of the hospital on Nov. 10, but still in Houston until follow up appt on Nov 22. Yes, I'm exhausted and head and neck hurts, but not as much as I had thought. Lots of naps and short walks to get my strength back up. Down to half the prescribed pain meds. My most noticeable improvement is the ability to really breathe ,,, big lungfuls of air. Feels great. Weirdest side effect is that my ankles are very sore from surgical restraints.
So glad I got this over with. Hope this pattern holds
