    Reposted and updated from http://science.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=8937&cid=613380 ...

    When I had my cranial surgery (due to my locked jaw -- had to open my jaw -- it was so bad that I couldn't stick my tongue out), the doctors had to break some nerves to fix this (from my neck and right side of my head near the ear area).

    After the complex surgery, the right side of my face were unresponsive (i.e. couldn't move and feel). That included my right eye where I couldn't move my eye lids (not even close fully).

    After about two months, I went to another surgery to fix these damaged facial nerves. The doctors fixed this by connecting working nerves to the damaged ones. Basically, they were rerouting these signals as if you were rerouting a network.

    Some of my broken nerves are currently recovered, but it will take years to recovered almost fully (not 100%).

    You can read more old details from http://zimage.com/~ant/antfarm/about/surgery/surgery.html ...

    --

    5/15/2012: Nope, they never recovered fully. I still can't close my right eye lid fully and can feel a little more, but still can't move fully. The feelings still funky in other areas on my head/face/neck. Heh!

    I wonder how much has improved from 1998 if I had that nerve reconstruction in 2010s.

    I am having problems running installed and portable LibreOffice after v3.3.

    How come movies don't get released during the same week/day? I noticed The Avengers movie got released to USA a week later compared to other countries like Hong Kong. What's up with that? Why not release all at the same time/day/week?

    And there are Office Mac updates coming out in a couple days with the monthly Tuesday schedule. I remember seeing Office Mac 2008 will have updates which is good for my client's old Mac OS X 10.5.8 that is unsupported by Apple. I wonder when MS drops support on Office Mac 2008.

    You still have upgrade/replace those internal interfaces. :(

  22. Re:operation every two years on Researchers Push Implanted User Interfaces · · Score: 1

    This is why I refuse to get an hearing aid implant. With external analog Oticon 380p (my third one of the same exact model since its release in the mid 1990s/90s), they last about five years and then I have to buy a new one. Hey, old stuff still works for my poor hearing. No lame implants. I can take it off easily too when I don't want to hear. Also, my head needs a rest without headband pressures. No need to worry about inside parts breaking inside of me.
