I Have Had Complex Partials Seizures For 20 Years Due

I have had complex partials seizures for 20 years due to massive brain trauma in 1979. It took a very long time to start with the seizures. I have taken every medicine there is and it is still diagnosed as intractable. I had a right temporal lobectomy in 2013. I was seizure from for 8 months. They started back then. The news one had massive hallucinations with them. Recently for last 8 months I think they are atonic seizures. My son saw me fall flat first directly on my face. After him telling me what happened, I had one more. A few months ago I had another one in the kitchen and busted the skin around my eyebrow. I had to get stiches. I am very nervous to go in the bathroom. When the surgeon at the Cleveland Clinic showed me my mri he pointed out that I have numerous scars on my brain that result in seizures at any time. Is it possible that these types of seizures happen in adults? It is something. I take 4 medications for epilepsy right now: keppra, lamictal, depakote and Zonisamide.
