If I knew then what I know now then I would still have had surgery. 21 July 2007
OK. I am having the best time of my life now and it is only due to having the surgery. It has enabled me to do just as I please and with the added bonus of giving me the confidence to carry it out.
At present I have not had a seizure so that is one year and three months now. Wonderful. Nothing seems to really bother me and in fact except for the war wound syndrome everything is fully healed.
I appreciate so much more now and notice so much more oh but the only problem is with word recall and face recognition and maybe a little short term memory problems but these are not due to surgery because mostly these have actually improved from before surgery and were not connected to the seizures. It was all due to a problem in infanthood which is noted in the first entry and not due to suffering with epilepsy. As it is not a perfect world I would say that things are as perfect for me as they should be. Therefore I would, if I knew then what I know now, still choose to have surgery but that is academic because I did have it and have not one regret over it.
