Kim.... I'd consider having a second surgery on the other side of my brain when it's needed - which prolly won't be for a coupla-three years or possibly more - depending if the progression of the disease continues to remain fairly slow as it has been so far. I'd presume (well, better make that "hope") by that time we'll see even more sophisticated imagining and brain mapping being done prior to each surgery. Possibly there'll be additional new or refined surgeries and/or drug treatments that will be available to chose from, as well. Sooooo.... I'd say I have an open mind about what the next step will be for me.
