Oh, Trace . . . hmm. (considering for a time."I wanted to think about what "we" discuss here. I too, have "right-temporal lobe epilepsy" and the resulting "complex-partial seizure" activity. Was yours' caused by any kind of head-trauma? If so, I would be very interested in dialogue between us. Just to "see" your perspective on this diagnosis/life. Just curious As for having the operation. I would have to know a LOT more about the malpractive alluded to in your story. I think, you should write the details, and post it here.

Hi Tracy,I myself had left temporal lobe surgery over 10 yrs ago. My surgery was 100% successful. I'd be more than happy to answer any and all questions you may have. Believe me, I've heard them all. I have now counseled over 1,500 people online who have epilepsy and are considering brain surgery or have undergone it themselves.Lisa-Marie

Hey Tracy
You are forgiven ;-)
Things went well for me.
The surgery was September 16th
We are now January 30, 2005 and no problems.... WOW What a world
Still not out of the woods yet but as you said they went in and did what they can do
Take care,
John
