I just came back from the twin cities, my appointment was yesterday, we stayed at my Uncles because my Dad n I didn't want to deal with the traffic coming back and he wanted to work on my Uncles Trans-Am, a nice looking car too!

My dr was not really shocked that I'm still having seizure's. He want's me to do another video EEG in the next couple of months to see what they missed when I had the surgery done.
 
He's also talking about implanting a RNS to see how that would work with my seizure's.

I have no problem with the idea, but my Father got scared thinking that they were going to take out more brain and then put the device in lol. My dr explained that it would just sit on my brain, but he was still scared. I had to tell him that it's like the shunts my Twin has on her brain help her out everyday, they just sit on her brain, that the RNS would do the same for me. And he relaxed after that.
 
Make sure you research the RNS. People have had mixed success with implants.
