Three year later. It will always feel like a recent moment, the day Derek and my Mom hugged me before I was taken in to Operation: Evict Angie. I’m so grateful that it’s becoming more and more distant. I have so much to celebrate and appreciate. Thanks to my family friends, and my doctors, I’ve regained all speech and reading skills since surgery… and I’m at an amazing 28 months seizure-free. An MRI in January and review in February resulted in a great report from by surgeon, and he’s recommending a full two years before my next scan! I’ll have one additional follow-up with my Epileptologist this summer, then (fingers crossed) nothing until 2021. This will be the fewest appointments I’ve had since before experiencing my first seizure. I’ll never take it for granted. This also isn’t the norm. I see several friends battling seizures regularly. I see my friends with kids working with doctors to schedule multiple surgeries for their children in hope of a better future. This isn’t even close to over. We have a long way to go to understand what we can do to control—and hopefully someday prevent or even cure—Epilepsy. Please consider giving if you can.
