No bullshit here, I am actually going in for brain surgery on Wednesday. The procedure is called a bilateral grid study and it is the first of two procedures that will hopefully reduce the frequency of and possibly eliminate my epileptic seizures altogether. I have not had a seizure since august of 2006 due to the right levels and types of medication, but I'm not content with that. The side effects still limit my independence and manifest themselves physically (I get tremors in my jaw and hands, and my short term memory is severely limited) The potential benefits are enormous and I am excited/anxious to get this done. Make no mistake, I am beyond scared but this is the best chance I will ever have at getting my confidence, independence, and families future welfare back on track. It's soul crushing that I have been a burden to my family and that has to end. My children need to start seeing there dad as their hero and my wife deserves to get back the strong, confident man she married 10 years ago.
Peace brothers and sisters.
