Hi julieann - I'm so very sorry this has happened.... especially after something so already as scary as a craniotomy.

Could I suggest that you change to a different hospital? Have you tried a university hospital?

I had my first brain surgery - left temporal lobe - to remove a tumor, Feb., 2006 and the second, to stop seizures, May, 2007, and I'm doing just fine.

I spend a lot of time on a brain surgery web site and everyone there is in favor of university hospitals with certain ones as the favorites.

Please keep talking here and let us know how things are going. I'll say a prayer for you and be waiting to hear how you are.
