Left Temporal Lobe Lobectomy Effects

Hi there, I know it's too early to ask, but I was hoping for feedback. I can't help but wonder about the surgery effects, even though the option has not yet come up. My goal is to work as a college professor. I was doing well in the master's program, but things are on hold due to the seizures. If I qualify for surgery, do you think it will prevent me from obtaining a Ph.D.? I have simple partial seizures most every day despite experimenting with several meds. The epilepsy is from a brain injury, but it’s the seizures significantly affect my cognitive abilities. I overcame the brain injury effects. Did anyone feel as mentally strong as they did before the surgery? Did you never regain your former cognitive abilities? Everything is relative, but I'm just looking for other's stories. Thanks, Kristine P.S. The seizures have been occurring for almost a year.
