Happy 4th of July everyone.  I'm especially grateful to all who have served our great country in the armed services.  Thank-you for your service!

Things are still going great post-surgery.  It's been over 6 months now.  Still no seizures, so I am hopeful that I may never have them again.  The other day I worked in an area of the hospital that required me to wear an OR cap.  For those that don't know what that is, it's the blue cap that looks almost like a hair net.  It's held on by a small elastic band.  Wearing it gave me a headache, even though it's a very small, weak elastic band.  Strange how such a small amount of pressure can affect the area my skull was cut open.  It wasn't the worst headache in the world, so no big deal really.  The occasional small headache is much better than the frequent seizures I was having before brain surgery.

Here's the latest on my seizures and brain surgery:
I've started jogging the last couple weeks.  The most I've done was about 17 minutes, but it's a start.  After all, I hadn't been jogging in nearly 2 years.  It feels good to have the energy to do aerobic exercise and not wonder if I'll end up getting a seizure from it.  I only got a small headache on one run.  Other than that the headaches are nearly gone.  It seems I can go a week or so without a headache and then I'll get a few during the day.  The good thing is that they usually last from just a few seconds to a couple minutes.  The headaches that lasted several hours don't seem to have been around for awhile.  Of course, I am remaining seizure free.  I am very happy with the outcome of my right medial temporal lobectomy.
