I had a temporal lobectemy in the yeaear 2000. in some ways I'm very grateful and for other reasons I regret it. I was having up to 15 grand mal seizures a day and severaral hunderd complex partil seizures as well. They were going to only remove my right hypocampus but I had so much scar tissue from the seizures they removed my amygdala and other areas as well. Today I still have seizures but nowhere near as frequently,PRAISE the LORD! However, I now have huge problems with short term memory, concentration, thought processing, confusion and noise sensitivity.All of this can be an extremely hard burden to carry at times but I believe the surgery still gave me back my life
