a man described in the medical literature who developed a growth the size of an orange. Yet because it grew very slowly, the man’s brain was able to adjust, shifting memories elsewhere, and his behavior and speech never seemed to change—even when the tumor was removed.

Wow, that's wild.

At first one half of my thumb was entirely numb, and over the course of well over a decade I'd get pins & needles as bunches of nerves would finish regrowing, except attached to random channels in the nerve bundle, so my brain had to completely remap all those signals to what they actually meant.

It felt super weird because hot, cold, pain & touch were all mixed up, but eventually my brain sorted them out.

Wow, that's fascinating. Thanks for sharing your story.

I'd like to do the same, but it looks like that particular Firefox extension is no longer available. Is there a current version that you use?
