Left Temporal Lobe Surgery next week
Mon, 04/29/2013 - 17:23Topic: Surgery and Devices
Hello. I cant find any recent ongoing discussions of Left Temporal lobe surgery. My husband will be having his surgery next week, after 17 years of seizures and 8 years of trying to make a decision on surgery. My anxiety is beyond belief. I am trying to hold it together for him and our 4 children. I find most success stories are of RIGHT temporal lobectomies. Has anyone recently recovered
from Left TL surgery that might have some words of wisdom or advice on getting through this procedure? Thank you ajard

Thank you all for sharing your stories. We are hours away till tomorrow morning and my husband is scared to death. I really appreciate the time you all took to share with me. We cant sleep and just keep watching videos of our 4 beautiful children . I pray that this is the best decision he could have made
