It's now been a little over 2 years since the surgery and all seems to be going well. Surgery was late October 2010, it's now December 2012.
I haven't noticed any complications or ongoing issues so I think it's probably safe to say I've made it through. I still have a massive scar under my hair that I don't think is going anywhere any time soon.
My only real conclusion at this point is "don't have brain surgery if you can avoid it". That's more or less it.
Again, leave me a comment if you have any questions and I'll endeavor to answer as best I can.
