I read another thread (can't find it now) where people were talking about how foggy they felt in the brain (not being able to spell or articulate thoughts after surgery were common comments) for weeks or even months after surgery and this has me a little scared. For those of you who have already gone through the surgery, would you mind letting me know if you've had any difficulty with cognitive functions since your surgery or if it has affected school adversely for you at all?

I'd also love some info on this. I have to TA a class this coming semester and it looks like I may be having surgery right in the middle. Is this a huge mistake??
