left TL surgery on 1/24/07
Sun, 01/14/2007 - 20:36Topic: Surgery and Devices
I am going in on the 24th for a left temporal lobectomy grid placement and mapping and they will remain until febuary 2nd. If my speech isn't in the way, they will remove my left hippocampus on the Feb. 2nd. I have been reading and speaking to some of you and appreciate your support. Chumtochatwith, thank you for your advice on the insulin pump. I have shown my husband how to use it, so hopefully he can help with it when I come home. How are you doing now?
Did anyone that went thru surgery feel up to company in the hospital, can you even talk after surgery or will I be too confused? anything as to what I can expect in the hospital would be greatly appreciated. I was told I will be there for about 5 days after the removal of the hippocampus provided they can do it. It depends on the mapping.

You do realize (I hope) that publically crediting God for making 'you' better, infers that God is also responible for keeping others having seizures?
Or is that 'Satan', as written in the Bible?
eg. Matthew 17:14-18, Mark 9:17-27, & Luke 9:37-42
Please know, I have only respect for religious beliefs.
However, (1) this is not a religious community and (2) your public statement infers you gained while others (ie. who didn't get controlled) lost.
IMO, that's cruel, and NOT in keeping with "Do unto others as ye shall have them do unto you", so I'd politely request that you keep your religious beliefs private.

I had God with me during my Left Temporal Lobe Surgery also. I had it in February 1998 and I was standing at Heaven's Gate during it. And if it weren't for God (Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit) and the wonderful Doctors at the Hospital for Joint Diseases in NYC, I wouldn't be here today!!! Trust me, the only thing I wanted back after my surgery was my hair--my neurosurgeon had to shave my head!!! Pray and don't stop praying! Peace, Julie
