Season 2, Ep 4: “Touching Grass”

In this episode of The Meningioma Cast, your friend Dave gets real about Halloween, neuropathy, and the strange, funny, and sometimes frustrating reality of life after a meningioma diagnosis. From brain surgery scars to brain fog, he shares what it’s like to live with nerve pain, stay grounded through humor, and literally “touch artificial grass” when the world feels unsteady. Which is every day for him.

This episode blends brain tumor awareness, post-craniotomy recovery, and real-talk mental health with a dose of Gen X humor and Halloween vibes. Whether you’re a meningioma survivor, a caregiver, or just curious about how people rebuild life after surgery, this one’s for you.

Welcome back to The Meningioma Cast — the podcast where brain tumors meet real talk, bad jokes, and a little late-night storytelling.

In this episode, Better Late Than Never, I’m catching up on what’s been happening behind the scenes — and yeah, this one almost didn’t make it out the door. Between life, recovery, and the chaos of getting a show done after a craniotomy, we’re talking about what I wish I’d done differently before and after brain surgery.

It’s raw, it’s honest, and it’s one of those “looking-back-to-move-forward” kind of talks. You’ll hear how recovery really works, what nobody tells you, and why timing — just like healing — never goes quite as planned.

And since Halloween’s creeping up, I’m closing things out with a few ghost stories and eerie moments that hit a little differently when you’ve already been through the weirdness of brain surgery.

If you’ve ever faced a medical curveball, or just love hearing how people rebuild life after one — this episode’s for you.
