Run the Gammit

When I went to see the epileptologist today, I was semi-prepared with questions and comments, but not for the resulting options. They were: 1. More brain surgeries (if they could be done safely), 2. More up and down again with the anti-epileptic drugs (I've been on nearly all, and every variant of said same in my illustrious career. And last but not least, we have the option of the Vagus Nerve Stimulator, an option worth taking a closer look at, seeing that the medicines haven't worked consistantly for 4 1/2 years. We were looking at it a few years ago, but my seizures were more controlled then. It's High Noon in my body, and I want those secondary seizures out by sundown, preferably via VNS.
