Hello. I have been through your question and understand your concern.
It seems you had an old infarct which somehow reorganised into an epileptogenic focus which produces seizures. It is a common eventuality after stroke. Generally this is a benign situation. You just need to prevent further seizures with the appropriate anti epileptic drugs (Depakote is what I recommend)
Yet you should have several heart test (ECG, Esophageal echocardiogram) hypercoagulability blood test, Doppler of the carotid arteries and neck-head MRI to find what caused you the first stroke to prevent a second one.
Hope this helps. Please feel free for further questions.
