I know I have said that I was going to give an update as to what the
results were from the follow-up MRI regarding the cavernoma that was
discovered and removed from my right temporal lobe of my brain in
November of 2004. I apologize it has taken this long but here
it goes. The MRI came back clear and my neurosurgeon has given
me a clean bill of health. I am very pleased as well
as my family
and friends. It has now been a year since my first and only
seizure that happened on October 18th 2004 and my surgery took place
November 2nd 2004. Wow! I cannot believe that time has
flown by very quickly and I feel pretty good as if nothing ever happened.
However, there is not a day that goes by that I don't stop and think
of what of what I went through and I am very thankful and fortunate
that I am alive. I hope and pray that anyone going through the
same thing or even any kind of sickness gets out of it and survives.
I am still taking the anti-seizure medication (tegretol/carbamazepine) on the orders of the neurogsurgeon... I guess for the scar tissue to cause any disturbance. For how long? I'm not sure. I will have to update you another time I feel great and I am glad. Take care for now and don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions.
P.S. I am still working and I am taking night school to prepare for entrance to the University of Toronto one day.
