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

Hi Keri,
You know my story also.
I'm 6 & 1/2 months since surgery now, and so far so good.
I just want you to know that my thoughts are with you and I'm wishing you the very best.
Hugs,
Pamela

Yeah, I remember your story. Can't remember if you did the brain mapping though. My memory kindof sucks right now. Thanks for your encouraging words.
Hugs, Keri

Hi Keri! I've been very anxious and hopeful for you. Thankfully, you won't have to wait much longer for the surgery...YAY!! You already know my whole story, so I won't bore you :) I hope that you get the answers you're searching for very soon. I am curious to read the experiences of others. Best of luck and hugs to you! Heather :)
