2026 A year late. Living with high hopes

It was hard and it still is. After finally feeling freedom for the first time and having it torn from you will break you. You had a life long dream came true and then it gets ripped away from you so suddenly. That's what happened to me.

I have gone through a lot in life. Good and bad but that seizure broke me in ways that nothing else ever had. I was more suicidal after that seizure than I ever was. Knowing the brain surgery didn't permanently heal me made me realize I will never be 100% "fixed". It is taking a VERY long time to accept that. I am still working on that. Regardless, I am still going.

I am determined to get things under control and stay positive, Not only do I have endless support and love, I also have a phenomenal counselor and great doctors. It has now been a year, 6 monthes, and 11 days since my last seizure. While I don't believe I will be truly happy again until after I hit that 4 year mark, I will have high hopes for it. 

I don't know if my faith in freedom will return like it was before but I will fight for it. I have been going on a journey to find myself again and get back in the grove I was in before. 

Good luck for everyone and remember, Live for Today, Plan for Tomorrow, And Learn from Yesterday. We've got this!
