1 year since brain surgery - 2nd and 3rd pic show stitches post surgery
Post Body

Today marks 1 year since I had brain surgery for epilepsy. I ended up getting a left temporal lobectomy due to my seizure frequency and medication issues. I recovered from the surgery much faster and a lot better than was expected, was told it would be possible I wouldn’t be able to walk for a month and was able to the next day. Since then I have had 3 seizures. The first one I had was about 7 months since surgery so was able to drive for a month. I then had 2 more on one day about 3 months ago. I was only able to take 300mg out of my 325mg normal dosage for about a day and that is the supposed cause for that one also. All in all I have recovered from this more than expected and have also had to basically now restart schooling. Applied for doctor of pharmacy about a month after surgery and will be in school another 5 years which I never thought would be possible. If anyone else has had similar issues and the doctor recommended that for you as the best option I would say it is a good idea. Was nervous going in but am very glad I went for it

Similar one here, they took my left hippocampus. How many staples? My kids counted around 75. (And then they made up the story of how the scar is from when I defended our home from a rabid lion)
