@lisalucier The surgery is scheduled with many tests prior. I've not had much luck with drugs. I seem to attract negative side effects. As mt Neurologist told me in the beginning. "We have to find a cocktail of drugs that will control your seizures and that you can live with the side effects". My epilepsy has grown or spread from originating in my right temporal lobe and bouncing to my left, to originating in both temporal lobes. My memory was once described as a library with seizures being storms that damaged and destroyed the books (memories) in the library. I've reached the point that too many books have been destroyed and cannot be replaced, that now the librarian herself is at risk. Surgery has always been the absolute last resort for me. Really. Who wants anybody tip toeing thru their brain. Hopefully they'll find all the weeds.
