A few statistics:

1. I have a 50/50 chance of retaining hearing on the left side.
2. 6-8 week recovery.
3. Acoustic neuroma is not really a tumor on the acoustic nerve, but the vestibular nerve, which is the balance nerve.
4. Surgery will sever vestibular nerve. The right side will compensate eventually, that is why the recovery is so long.
5. I won't be able to drive during the day for 4 weeks and after dark for 3 MONTHS.
6. I won't be able to wash my hair for 12 days! ICK!
7. I will have severe dizziness/nausea/vertigo when I wake up from surgery due to the balance nerve being severed. This will probably last a few days.

I am sure this is just the beginning. More later...
