Stuck in a moment you can't get out of
Let's talk side effects, since we're now gearing up for Thursday.
Most likely: loss of hearing in one ear, temporary or permanent loss of swallow / cough / gag reflexes (trachy becomes permanent), temporary misalignment of the eyes (squint)
Quite likely: temporary or permanent hemiparesis (paralysis of one side of the body affecting one arm and one leg), loss of muscle control in the face (affecting tongue / speech).
Less likely: brain damage affecting IQ, loss of muscle control on one side affecting eyesight.
But the most difficult thing is that the tumour may be such that the neurosurgeon doesn't get part of the tumour to be resected but we get some of the side effects anyway.
