Nah, I didn't lose any senses. Just a few.. what are they called..

Memories! That's the one. I think.

Mine only took 8 hours, but high five for brain surgery!

Seems like I wheel this out a lot, but high-five for awesome brain surgery scars!

Nasty headaches, dizziness and the sound of what I can best describe as 'being underwater'. Lasted about 9 months of GP visits while they dismissed it.

Eventually got sent for an MRI and when the results came in, rushed in to see a specialist. I was presented with a few short term solutions, none of which sounded pleasant, ended up going with removing the whole thing (a cyst right smack bang between the ventricles).

8 hours of surgery, a few months off work, no problems since!
