Hi..my friend (45)had surgery for epilepsy on June 25th at Dartmouth Hitchcock in NH. She has had seizure for several years now and unable to drive.
Im not sure what type of surgery she had, she gave me a generic description of
the doctors removing scar tissue. They were going to shave an area behind her right ear and so on.
Can anyone give me the name off hand of what this surgery is called?
In any case...she was in the hospital for a week, came home in alot of pain, and her mom brought her back up to dartmouth 2 days ago, as she wasnt eating, and was moving real slow.
I talked with my friend yest am, well, I tried too. It was difficult. She was slurring her words and talking so so slow. I hesitate to say she had an adverse reaction to the surgery, but something doesnt seem right.
I talked to her mom and made a comment that it seemed like she was drugged up and she stated that her daughter was not sedated, that the doctors arent taking her concerns seriously. Her mom is thinking about putting her into a rehab setting as she can't fend for herself.
Im real worried about her. This does not seem normal.
Does it take time for the brain to heal? Is her "slowness' normal.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
