Hi Diane,
I'm glad to hear you are excited about your surgery. Keep me posted, will you? I saw my epileptologist yesterday, and she advised that I am on the road to surgery, and although I'm nervous about it, I'm also glad to read so many positive results.
I hope all goes well with you, and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers!

Barb,
I had the Wada test done last week. It is so interesting!!! I met the neurosurgeon today and he was awesome. (sound like my teenagers) I think we might see the epileptologist one more time....to answer any questions my husband thinks of. He was really struggling for awhile, but is doing well now. I have surgery in less than 3 weeks. woo hoo The surgeon told me I would be in the hospital for only 3 days....that amazed me. I'll keep you updated....let me know how you are doing too. What tests have you done ?
