surgery complications...Help

Sat, 08/29/2015 - 20:44

Hi everyone....I went into the hospital at the end of July for depth electrode surgery, then they sent me to rehab for a week or so....their were some complications, and I wasn't able to get the temporal lobectomy a week later like it was planned...now it's the waiting game.  I'm on new meds, and I have no idea when they will do the temporal lobectomy...so frustrating....I hope I learn more next week after I see the neurosurgeon...any input would be very helpful.  I just hope I'm doing the right thing by having this next surgery.  I feel sill walking around in either a wide stretchy head band or a bandana and my head is still so itchy from the electrodes they placed.  I just want my life back.  This is taking forever.
