Default New and scared

Hello everyone. I am a 39 year old male in decent physical health who had his first (and hopefully last seizure) Monday after coming back from the gym. I have been diagnosed with a lesion on my right temporal lobe. I have had CT Scan, Blood work x2, urinalysis, EEG and MRI - Head. My neurologist has referred me to a neurosurgeon. My appointment is for Monday afternoon.

History:
Motorcycle accident 6 years ago. Left MCL Tear, rt Patella tendon rupture, fracture of the #2 and #3 metacarples on my left hand. There was some damage to the full face helmet I was wearing but the CT Scan came back ok.

The neurosurgeon wants a full Body CT Scan before he sees me Monday.

The doctors want me to start taking Keppra 500mg immediately. I am hesitant.
