Met a man Sunday who was diagnosed with epilepsy at 12 years old. At age 22 he elected to undergo brain surgery to remove the portion of his brain that was malfunctioning. It went well for him and has improved his lifestyle.
We have discussed this option with my doc many times. The form of epilepsy I have is what she calls intractable. Meaning that eventually medication will not work for me. In that case the surgery would be my only option to live normally. Perhaps I should do it sooner rather than later.
Just can't bring myself to let someone cut my skull off and scoop out part of my thinker.
