@santosha one other reflection: gratitude. I just turned 81 last month. considering my legacy of fatal heart disease on my father‘s side of my family , I never expected to live nearly this long. I’m so greatful for this unexpected longevity that the seizures are just one more bump in the road.

@frankv
I love the way you look at it all. Knowing the fatal heart disease that runs on your father's side of the family, and reaching 81 in spite of it, has given you a kind of gratitude that frames epilepsy as just one more bump in a road you never expected to walk this far down. That's no small thing, and it sounds like you know it.
Thank you so much for this wisdom and reflection you share with us all!
Wishing you many more seizure-free years ahead, Frank. 🤞
Chris
