"I ran out of drugs today... It feels like someones trying to forcefully replace the wisdom teeth they took out"
What on Earth did the dentist do to you? When I had my wisdom teeth out a couple years ago, I took some aspirin when the anaesthetic first wore off, but I was fine after that.

I think it depends on how the teeth are impacted and where they are in the jawbone. I know that in some cases there is drilling. My doc knocked me out for my work (which was great) and for about a week my jaw felt fragile, but there wasn't too much pain. A mountain of bloody cotton though.
It's terrible to hear about the afflictions of our fellow Flarites. I wish there was anything I could do or say. I hereby order you all to get better.

It only hurts if they install the extra-large mind-control transmitters in the tooth-sockets.

This time I was in the hospitalf or four days the surgeon out took,. out my right temporal lobe
quote:the
zonducted a study on patients with damage to the left and right temporal lobes.
LEFT temporal lobe is important for verbal memory in adults.
RIGHT temporal lobe is important for non-verbal learning and memory, visuo-spatial information.

Er...you'd think they could have gotten it all by now! Amazing that you're (it seems) all right enough to post in after so much surgery and, well, brain removal.
I'm guessing that (as with stroke victims) you're brain will sorta rewire itself so you can lead a full life?
I'm still unclear what is added into the area where your lobe was- they cant just have a hollow for your brain to squish around in.
I'm thinking they should make it a Pez/painkiller dispenser: you just tilt your head back and viola! Instant pill drops from your brian into your mouth.

So, Jay - they didn't GET it all or the extra meds are a precaution!?!
I second the motion for you to FIGHT FIERCELY!
Viso-spatial memory?? Bah! Just get a GPS! Just don't get the one that has Ozzy or Sharon Osbourne's voice!
As for neuro-inhibitors - I gather you mean for new out-growth... I think it's a matter of having the correct signalling chemicals in the various areas to allow the neurons to grow and migrate... it'd be cool if you could some out make that brain area revert to a developmental state and grow like it did in the womb.

Exactly, Andrew.It's been studied for well over a decade, and the scientific community is being really cnservative/timid about trying it on humans.

If they're being that conservative, it's a good bet there's a landfill of brainless monkeys somewhere. insert "brainless monkey" political joke here.
