Hello to all my EP friends. I haven't been posting much lately, but
I've been trying to keep up with the digest. I've been doing alot of
soul searching and trying to decide what to do about going back to
Duke again and being tested and possibly having surgery again.
Well.....I've made a decision! I'm going back at least to be tested
again. I need to know what my options are. I may be a candidate for
surgery again and I may not. I'll be entering the hospital on 2/23
for 7 to 10 days of testing.
This had been a very difficult decision to come to. I've talked to
alot of people( you guys included). I've talked to my local neuro.
and other local doctors. I've prayed about it and had alot of people
praying for me too. The local doctors are telling me to "Go for it"
so I am. I was seizure free the first time for about 10 years. If I
can get another 10 years or hopefully become seizure free for good, I
think that would be GREAT.
I'm doing this as much for or not even more for my little girl. I
don't want her to have to grow up dealing with me having these things
all the time. I want to be able to be there for her when she's
involved in things at school or whatever the case may be. I've missed
out on alot of things in the past because I had a seizure and
couldn't go. I'm just sooooo tired of that!
If I do qualify for surgery again it will be my 3rd brain surgery, if
you count the one I had when I was 6 months old. What is it that they
say..Third time's a charm. :-)
So that's what I'm going to do. I just want to say THANKS SO MUCH to
all of you who have listened and responded to me. I'm so glad I found
you guys. I've got one problem. I'd like to post messages while I'm
in the hospital, but I don't have a laptop, :-(. OMG...how will I
ever survive without my daily internet fix....haha.
I had 2 seizures last week and today is the first day since that my
head feels like it's cleared up. The wind is blowing very very hard
here in VA today. I hate wind! I'll probably have lots of auras
tonight.
Take care everyone!!!
