I had Right Temporal Lobe surgery for complex partial seizures on October 4th 2000, here in New Zealand. It was the best thing I ever did. I have had no seizures since then, and I now can drive a car. Feel free to ask me any questions you might have. Also you might find this website helpful. https://home.comcast.net/~epilepsy/index.htmlKate, New Zealand.
