Hello people's 👋 I'm currently typing on my phone, and updating you guys on what's going on while I'm away during the testing for my seizures and the hopefully upcoming RNS. (Things have changed drastically.)

I had Surgery on the 8th of July, and I need rest for 30 days. Basically: I can't do squat. No lifting more then 10 lbs, squatting, moving in certain directions, and I have to lie on my back at all times. Unless it's absolutely needed to get up.

I had the WADA test and CT scan, I'll post some pictures later on WARNING: They are a bit bloody, bruised & battered. I'll give you a warning before they're posted.

THE WADA TEST:
This, was to get "an idea" on where my seizures are located. The left, or right side of my brain. Maybe both? Along with finding other things out such as my memory and speech. My memory on my left side of the brain is fine. The memory on my right side is not so good which we expected - that's where the seizures are.

After the test/surgery I discovered that my main seizure doctor talked with my mom & husband.

What they talked about shocked me. Sometime soon, possibly next visit to my seizure doctor I'm to see a surgeon. (Wherever we can make an appointment to see him.)
Why?
Well... I'm possibly a candidate for 2 things!
Brain surgery, or an RNS.

However: in order to figure out more on either subject, which would be best. I need to do yet another surgery. Electrodes on my brain in various areas and depths. To pin-point the exact area of the seizures. I'll be in the hospital for 1-2 weeks for this. From what I've understood, it's a form of an EEG.

After we discover the exact area and info, we'll go from their. What's the best route?

That's the upcoming visit(s).

Right now, I'm about to head home within 24hrs and continue my 30 day recovery. I'll keep you updated in the Authors Notes in the beginning or ending of the chapter!

Today has been a very rough day because I've nearly passed out 3 times, barfed 2ce.

I have to take the bandage off tomorrow (48hrs after the surgery) and I'm terrified.

WARNING, PICTURES FROM SURGERY BELOW:
