I agree with part of your answer: "complete recovery is not possible following a brain surgery." That said, when a person goes back to the o/r for 5 more surgeries, what is the probability that scare tissue could become a major issue into the future?
I have a hard time understanding the emotional recovery, 1-2 weeks. That may be true for a first surgery for some people, but add 5 more to that equation including unnecessary verbal abuse from the caregiver, how long could either take to heal?
