Well, for an update, on Thursday last week, the doc suggested Gamma Knife. She explained it very well with the possible complications and what to expect too. It showed the concern some family members experience and also the callous side of others with a vulnerable family member too. I was impressed that one family member said he checked out the doc and that he has a "good track record". Sounds like they've been reading our posts. lol. It didn't take long because Victor decided on having the Gamma knife that same day. He said that even though there was a possibiity of permanent brain damage, he didn't see that as being worse than the fog of the AEDs. Surgery was scheduled for the next day, Friday. As with all soaps, he was left for the weekend somewhere between the pre-op and surgical suite. lol I still don't know where the VEEG was. They mentioned scans but donno what scans. The doc did say they "pin pointed" where the seizures are coming from so that's good provided they did all the right tests. They included one man trying to take advantage of the patient as can happen easily. After Victor was given the pre-op for the surgery and not thinking clearly, this man coerced Victor into signing over his company to him "in case anything happened". Now this is plot for days to come. The writers are doing a very good job so far. It is sensitive and includes things many of us may have experienced. I know I chose surgery over the AEDs and the outcome of the seizures. Tattoo2 reporting..... lol
