anyone had left frontal lobe resection?

On March 19, 2009 I had Right frontal lobe resection. (Golfball size or slightly larger). 7.5 hour surgery. 39 year old male. I am still the same person. Slightly more emotional (sadness). That's it. Could be the meds. Have low energy and sluggish thinking. (again, the meds). Hope this helps.

My 17 year old son had right frontal lobe resection five weeks ago tomorrow and he is doing so fantastic! No seizures and not even any epileptic activity of any kind on his two week post op EEG. With his surgery, the surgeon came out of surgery saying that he really had to get all over the secondary motor strip to get the entire affected area out and he fully expected Justin to wake up with weakness or even inability to move all or part of the left side of his body. But he had no weakness or disability at all! Thirty minutes after surgery, he was responding to all commands to move all of his extremities on both sides. What a joyous moment for his parents who had been mentally preparing for weeks of rehab. He had quite a bit of facial swelling that was painful but pain meds kept that under good control. He was off all narcotic pain meds four days after surgery and off of all over the counter ones like tylenol and ibuprofen by day eight. He returned to school for his senior year of high school twenty days after this grueling four-hour surgery and nobody could even tell he had HAD surgery! It was a truly amazing and easy recovery. His biggest complain post-op was this weird swishing noise that he could hear in his ears of the fluid in his head shifting around when he moved his head. Very strange and disconcerting but only related to edema between the skin and the cranium and totally resolved within about three weeks. He is five weeks post-op and has been back to his normal energy level for at least two to three weeks. Absolutely amazing! Our surgeon does not shave hair for surgery. It leaves little nicks in the skin that leave openings for bacteria to invade so he just avoids that altogether. My son's scar going from the right front at ear level just behind his hairline, all the way across the top of his head, and about halfway down to ear level on the left side. He was closed with dissolvable stitches that have fallen out and his incision is completely invisible. My son had had no seizures, none of his usual headaches and nausea, no dizzy spells, and had his first completely normal EEG two weeks after surgery. We bought him a cake that said "Congrats on the normal EEG, with normal EED lines running across the front of it and took him out to dinner to celebrate this monumental occasion. Best decision we/he ever made!!! He now has about a ninety percent chance of being seizure free for the rest of his life because they were very careful to get not only his lesion but all of the epileptic area around it. The lesion was the size of a peach pit but the area ultimately removed was the size of a PEACH!!! He has made a fantastic recovery and I wish we had done this five years ago! Best of luck to you!
