Brain Test.
As I've mentioned in a previous post, I'm going for a 5-day study on my brain activity to monitor which part of my brain the seizure activity is coming from. The doctor (who will also perform my brain surgery) who showed the left side of my brain near the hippocampus is and had been withering, it will be removed and he also wants to also take out my Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) before the study begins. This is a device that has saved my life more times than I can count, it constantly emits an electrical current to the vagus nerve in your neck, I'm not sure how it works to stop seizures, but it does. I will also be taken off all of my anti-convulsant/seizure medications... So needless to say, I'm a little scare about the whole situation and having brain surgery (who wouldn't be?)
