staying sane with day to day life…having epilepsy

Guess these drugs don’t work…

on May 31, 2012

It was three seizures only a week ago, with the last one on Thursday morning. I got to a week but then today I’ve had one definite and one probably seizure.

The probably came first. Stephen took the day off and after eating lots of great yum cha in the city, we went home both very very tired (you know how exhausting it is, eating and shopping) and went straight to bed. Stephen tells me I sat up mid sleep and “started rambling, eyes wide open”. But can’t be sure that is a seizure really. People do that often when dreaming, mid-sleep. Don’t they? Shrug. Just can’t be 100% sure.

But then I had a real one in the car when we picked up Lilly from child care. Stephen said I just turned off, apart from muttering a bit and giving drunk-style directions home. Then I looked at him and got freaked out – he said possibly because I am so used to sitting in taxis with strangers. And then I asked where my daughter was (maybe because if I am in a taxi I am in the back seat next to her??). Poor Stephen, he isn’t treated very nicely during my seizures. But he says he is just relieved that I always ask Lilly’s whereabouts.

So if I’m going to do three in a row I’d like to get number three done in the next 12 hours because tomorrow mid morning we’re going to Canberra and then the South Coast until next Wednesday. I don’t want to have holiday seizures. So bring on the next one while I’m sitting here on the couch 🙂
