Help I got the ball rolling for the surgery...

Hi, Guys,

Thank you to all who have helped me by answering my earlier questions.

At this point, I have an appointment with a neurologist in Dallas to discuss my case. I am trying to find out if I am a candidate for the epilepsy surgery.

Right now, I am trying to find out any questions that I should ask on that initial meeting with the doctor. I have done some research, but the seizures have been so bad that I am pretty dingy and my short term memory is almost nil. I would prefer to go into the meeting with the questions written down on paper.

I'd appreciate any input you can give me, and would love to hear from those who have had the surgery, both good things and bad. I want to be truly prepared.

Oh, yeah... One more question... Do they shave your head? It may sound like a trivial point, but it is one that I'd have to psych myself up for! If it meant not having seizures, they could have the hair! Shoot, I'd wear a bag over my head if that is what it would take!

Anyway, thanks in advance.
