Hi,
All the surgeries done brought back memories from when I had my 2 surgeries done. I had the veeg but they didn't use the grid back in 1990 instead they drilled 7 holes in my head 3 on the left temporal lobe and 4 on the right temporal lobe and then I was hooked up to a veeg for 10 days but I was able to walk around my room because the hooked up a 25 ft. cable so I could get out of bed, use the restroom and just walk around my room. My second surgery was ultrasond brain surgery on the RTL and just like Sky I had a lot of scar tissue causing my sz. I had to stay awake during my second surgery the only time they put me out was when they cut into my skull and then I woke up and heard the drill just like the one we heard on tv. Out of both of the surgeries my neurosurgeon told me that the veeg was more risky but that's before they started using the grid like they do today. Here's wishing all of you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
