Wow Betsey you have a lot going on there. I have never had to deal with epilepsy, I am sorry you have to deal with all of that. I cannot imagine the emotions that go with everything involved.
My dad worked at a major research hospital for years, trying to find a cure for epilepsy. He was the laboratory manager and they were working with magnets, that is how I got interested in watching the show.
I sure hope things work out for you.
You can not change your past, but you can ruin a perfectly good present by worrying about the future.
