Hi everyone, I'm 70 years old and having a frontal meningioma that is pressing on my brain and pushing out on my skull removed surgically in 3 days. It is causing me to have seizures and lost of consciousness. My Dr. has put me on anti-seizure medication, Levetiracetam. Not sure the seizures will stop even after surgery but I can only hope. Can't drive unless the seizures stop. I was told and understand that there may be emotional and physical changes in me. Not really looking forward to any of that but I will be happy when it is over and done with.

@dica, I hope you are recovering well from surgery. If you have a moment, I'd like to hear how you are doing.
