Glad to hear from you after your surgery Mark! Sorry to hear about your deafness in one ear. I pray you will recover.
Glad to see you back Mark and alive. As you said, it could've been worse. I pray that you will recover from the dizziness quickly.
I watched 50/50 and I'm glad your Schwannoma was benign. Probably had to sever the nerve to remove the cancerous Schwann cells from the area?
yup thats what I was told. Also, my jugular in the wrong place, and that complicated the surgery
Seems like you were put together without an instruction manual.
One step forward at a time
Can the nerve not even possibly grow back together? I know in some cases nerves can, or did they have to remove a significant section of it?The deafness is permanent, since they cut the nerve (apparently had to) And since its a nerve, a hearing aid will do nothing.
But they says my dizzyness will dwindle over time. I hope so, since I can't stand upright now.
And thanks all for your prayers.
Lol, instruction manual.

Is the dizzyness due to the cut nerve & your brain learning to cope to balance with just 1 'connected' ear?
Is the lost appetite 'just' a side affect of the surgery or are meds making you feel unwell?
Anyway, hope you recover quickly & all the best!
Btw, yea to the gross pictures, lol.
As for the appetite, its back, but all food tastes different now...
Antibiotics can eliminate taste and aroma by killing bacteria in the nose and mouth. My taste is slowly coming back since treatment was completed a couple of weeks ago.
I hope your taste loss is such a side effect. Best wishes for a full recovery.
Hm, maybe your deafness won't be permanent forever.
