Hi Jewl,

My name is Chris. I'm a 31 year old man with left temporal lobe
epilepsy. I did have brain surgery done on April 8 1997 (10 days
before my 20th birthday) at teh University of Washington in Seattle
Washington. I do still take medication ( Lamictal) for my Auras (
warnings)
Due to stress and my epilepsy I have to take Zoloft for depression
and anxiety. I do have a terrible short term memory due to teh
injury as well as the surgery but I have a great sense of humor and
personality.
I love the Seattle Seahawks and I'm a big fan of Adam Sandler, Drew
Barrymore and Tom Cruise. I really hope we can get to know each
other. Please email me when you have a chance? Please use the term
pen pal for subject so I know who's emailing me.


Chris
