i had surgery in 1999. it was a success. i to have trouble at times
remembering things. so i try to make it a practice that when something comes to
my mind i tell the person right away even if i have to interrupp a phone call
and i try and write what ever comes to mind down asap. it might take 5
seconds for it to come back to a day and sometimes it dont come back. look at
it like this, or at least heres how i look at it.
I'll take loosing my memory now and then. then having seizures. (but then
again in my case i use to have 50 seizures per day.

Hi Doris,
My surgery was 3 years ago. I feel my memory is worse BUT, I'm also 52
which is a time when memory can begin to not be the same. Also, what was felt
by me in the months after a successful surgery in stopping seizures for me
was a gain in self confidence!!

totally changed going from the quiet one living under a rock to talking allot. As
my self confidence grew, I became more outgoing also. But, as I changed,
my memory didn't improve. So all in all I changed so much but my memory not
improving made me feel as though my memory got worse, though it didn't. I
was so positive my memory got worse that I asked my Dr. if I could have a
neuropsycological evaluation to compare pre and post tests. I had the test,
and it showed there where no changes in me because of surgery. I mean no
memory changes (smile). I've always had a poor memory since my epilepsy began
in 1975. Add electrical activity and side effects of the meds. and my
memory went to sleep (smile). Plus a learning disability all my life. I swear
its worse but its just that how much I _stephenpales@
