Brain Surgery is done & i'm home!!!!!!
Mon, 10/16/2006 - 13:04Topic: Surgery and Devices
It's finally over. The cyst is gone. I'm healing well and things are going alright. I just had the staples removed this week and my head is healing pretty well and things are going alright. I have to take at easy for the next month but i'm okay. The cyst is gone and i'm so happy. Hopefully no more seizures ever happen. My memory is give and take sometimes with different things and my body is very weak but i'm taking at easy and healing pretty darn well. I can't work until mid november, doctors orders, so i'll make it. And i'm visiting the doctor every 3 or 4 weeks just to make sure its all good. The scar is huge on the left side of my head but it's well worth it now that the cyst is all gone. :) I'll be here on and off, the screen needs some time on my eyes and head in the beginning with these headaches and my eyes, but i'm okay, just healing now and taking it easy.....Kelly G.

Hi Diana,
Hope your surgery went well. Mine will probably not be scheduled until February (I meet with the neurosurgeon in January). I will be thinking of you. Let us all know how you are.
Dawn ;-)

Kelly, Best of luck with your surgery which you probably just had. You mention that yoiu had seizures for 27 years and now have found out that you are a candidate for surgery. I also have had them for 27 years and have just found out that they may be coming from a benign meningioma in the frontal lobe. Am going to have a MEG scan...just waiting for the insurance company to approve it. Let me know how your surgery went. I am nervous and scared, but if I can be seizure fee and no complications, I'll go for it. Best of luck to you. seizuremom
