They discovered I also have congestive heart failure while hospitalized after a series of major seizures.
I've also anxiety attacks, which are one of my seizure triggers.
... Aging is great... you just have to adjust to the "new you".
I'm being tested for possible glaucoma next week. Hopefully I don't have that as well.

AS I have gotten older and have Glaucoma and varicose veins in my legs. I had heart surgery when I was considering surgery to get rid of my epilepsy. It is an old friend !! Why make go away after a lifetime of companionship.?? Humor in everything. Cooking Tonight Meatloaf will become my special Spaghetti. Ericthom3

High Blood Pressure, High Cholestrol, and COPD to name a few. I am also Anemic. But none has been worse in my lifetime. Not as bad now since I will be seizure free for 8 years on June 15th.

Thank you so much and Yes God has brought me through this. I think of that loss as a part of who I am it's not "you'll get over it" just like epilepsy it's the same not as hard they have both changed who I am in a way I wasn't looking for...
