I wanted to say Thanks for your prayers and friendship. I am back from the brain surgery. As of some of you know about it. I am feeling better just my head hurts of course, it is still healing. Everything went well so far. I will keep you all posted on the outcome. Take care.

Hi Ash! Good to see you back, and even better to hear that you're feeling better. Make sure you get plenty of rest.

Hi There

I'm glad to hear you are back and on the mend! Would you mind telling me about your surgery, what part of the brain your op was on? I'm having my right Hippocampus removed on June 26th, and although I've already had one lot of brain surgery in Sept 2000, and know what to expect, I'm dreading it! I will be terrified the day before I just know I will. I was seizure free for 5 years and then my epilepsy returned, so fingers crossed that this works long term, it would be worth it to get another 5 years seizure free.
I hope to hear back from you soon, and all the best to you! Hope we can keep in touch?

Lots of Love

Elaine xx

Hey Bernard!
I can tell you I am feeling better than I was when I was in the hospital and when I first came home. Everything is healing fast. I got my staples out yesterday. It is just itching and driving me crazy. But other than that I am doing ok. Thank you everyone for the Welcome Back!
