Left Temporal Lobectomy and Brain Mapping
Fri, 07/21/2006 - 13:02Topic: Surgery and Devices
Hey all,
Well, I have my surgery scheduled. I go in on the 21st of August for brain mapping and have the surgery on the 25th.
I've read all the material out there about surgery AND brain mapping. What I'm wanting to know is...what was the brain mapping experience like for YOU? And also, I would love to hear YOUR surgery story! I would like to hear it ALL, the good, the bad and the everything. :) I want to hear about what you were going through while waiting on the surgery day to come and I also want to hear what you went through afterwards. (physically, emotionally, etc.)
Yes, I'm nervous, scared, anxious, but ready to get this over with NOW!
Looking forward to hearing from as many of you as possible.
Love, Keri

Maggie,
Thanks! Prayer is most important to me. When people have asked what they can do for Grant and me, the first thing I say is PRAY! We have family, friends, their families and friends and churches praying from Hawaii, Alaska, clear to the East Coast. :)
