Post-Epilepsy-Surgery: Recovery Uncertainties

Epilepsy is all about uncertainty
And unpredictability
From moment to moment
From hour to hour,
From day to day

We're on the other side of Epilepsy Surgery
But the uncertainty is still there.

We live with it every hour of every day.
And it's not just the usual
Uncertainty and unpredictability of seizures.

But it's also now, the big picture of not knowing
Whether we're on the amazing threshold of a new life
Without seizures.

Or whether we've traveled a long way
Simply to end up back again
Exactly where we started at the beginning.

Or perhaps somewhere in between:

Doctors can't give us answers.  Not yet.
It's too early.  The situation too complex.
Her case too uncertain.
And so, we have to wait. 
And as we wait, watch.
