At such time, I will be half way there in going for a year free of seizures. Not only the fact that it has been a year since my operation, also, it will be six months since 1 experienced my last seizure! That's right, my last aura and focal seizure ( not as severe as my phychomotor seizures) occurred as I lay on the table and surgery was underway. Yes, the six month mark falls on Friday the 13th of November. This year has been my year. I Incidental- ly, my father turned 56 last month, just as 1956, was the year in which I was born.) As I looked into things even more, I found that 13 is obviously intended for me, after all, I am the third child of the 10 children my parents brought into this world. As if all this is not enough, Bev and I will be celebrating our 13th anniversary next May. Exactly three days. following our an- niversary on May 10. I will hit the one year mark since my surgery, May 13, only, ironically, it too falls on Friday again. Then nine days later, just as I have nine brothers and sisters, my brother's date of death falls again. At this time, though, it will mark three years since Pete's death. For a woman who was once superstitious, I am everything but that now, for 13 is my number! Lost Heir Results On November 4, there were enough in- terested players for seven tables at Lost Heir.
