My doctor is wanting me to complete step two the seeg to see if they can figure out were my seizures are coming from as they don't understand why have been still having seizures after having brain surgery when I was 14 were they removed my right temporal lobe and as I've had a VNS. Their trying to see if I can qualify for the RNS.Part of me just wants to change my VNS battery

Tamara, go with your gut. That’s what I’m doing. I don’t want to go back into that world again.

I'm questing if I want to go through that or not as I'm thinking about the recovery time it's going to feel hard as I have a mom that usually depend on for transportation and she is not in the greatest health. Part of me just wants my VNS battery changed

I had this same procedure done in 2008, but they didn't send me home for a recovery time inbetween. When they went back in to remove the electrodes they completed the surgery to remove a portion of my brain. I'm sure things have change immensely since then tho!!!! I was in the hospital for around 5 weeks after and at home it was another good month before I was for the most part up and at em. My muscles had atrophied in my legs and everything laying in a hospital bed for 5 weeks so it took awhile to recover. I had a limit of what I was supposed to pick up. But I'm seizure free today.
