One year ago today, my husband had brain surgery (!!!!!!!) for a condition called Trigeminal Neuralgia which he'd had for about 10 years. We are so happy to be celebrating the one-year anniversary of his successful surgery (microvascular decompression).
I can hardly believe it's been a year...and in other ways it seems like it's been longer.
I will say that he has NOT had that awful nerve pain AT ALL since the surgery. That is such a huge deal. If you have or know someone who's had Trigeminal Neuralgia, you will understand the import of that. It's amazing. He does still have numbness on one side of his face (he can still move it and etc, it just feels numb--he describes it like the feeling when you have novacaine at the dentist for a filling), and we had hoped that that would dissipate, but looks like it might be here to stay. Still---leaps and bounds beyond his former condition.
Here's my post from a year ago about it :)
If you have, or know someone who has, trigeminal neuralgia, please feel free to contact us to find out more about his surgery experiences!
We are praising God for the work that he has done in my husband's body, and for that which He continues to do!
