What is recovering from a meningioma brain tumor like?

It was easier than I expected, I missed 19 days of work and was back to regular duty in a few months. I suffered two seizures about three months after surgery, and another a year later, they were, I think brought on by stress. That was 21 years ago and have not had one since. The tumor did return 10 years after the first one but that was removed by Gamma Knife surgery and since I have no signs of any recurrence, I have an MRI every 5 years and show no signs of any tumor. I will be happy to answer any questions you might have.
