Hi guys, sorry I haven't been around lately. I promised my self I wouldn't become one of those healthy people who disappear 'cause they feel better and I won't. I've been checking in and reading but not posting because I've been very tired. My nurse spanked me over the phone for over doing it so I laid low for a while which I always find makes me more tired. Getting back in the loop this week.
Its been just over a month since my temporal lobe resection and not one seizure. I'm feeling amazingly well. Barely even a headache. A lot of weird shooting pains around the incision then 24 hours later the feeling comes back to that part of my scalp. The human body is an amazing thing how well we heal ourselves.
I had read other posts from surgical patients who had severe headaches and was prepared for the worst but low and behold nothing. I'd take this over a post ictal headache any day. My jaw and my neck hurt more than anything. I had a pre existing problem there that surgery irritated, but getting better. The worst part of all was the morphine they give you in ICU. That is awful stuff and I'll never touch it again.
Glad to talk to you guys again. I promise I won't disappear. I hope I can help others through this awful thing.
