are we sure this was an actual doctor and not just someone dressed up as one? I'm glad you received better care after that, but damn that must have HURT.

pleeeease tell me he shook your non-traumatized leg

From his symptoms is sounds like it was pressing against the motor strip on the right side which is next to the parietal lobe. My father had a arteriovenous malformation in that area that broke (basically a brain aneurysm) and lost complete feeling in his left arm and leg when the vein broke.

Two questions: 1. Could they tell the tumor wasn't cancerous before they did the surgery or did you have to wait for confirmation afterwards?
2. Did you have to do any physical rehabilitation to get feeling and movement back into your arm and leg or did the sensation and strength just come back after they removed the tumor?

I am so glad you were able to relearn so quickly! My dad had an aneurysm on his motor strip and spent about four months relearning how to walk, but is still partially paralyzed. He said that at first he had to think about walking instead of it being an automatic thing. Did you have to specifically think about walking at first as well? What was that like? I'm really glad you are okay and I hope the tumor doesn't come back!
