Mexican seizure – incautación

on June 8, 2012

Only one seizure this round (touch wood as usual). Yesterday I met up with various friends and spent the time in between walking back and forth up and down King Street to meet them. Good exercise though, particularly helpful for all the Canberra food I ate (even though most of the meetings were again to eat 🙂 But finally I was walking up King St to go meet Lilly at child care. And I was alone. But the reason I know I had a seizure was that the first post-seizure memory I had was that I was sitting at one of the benches outside Guzman y Gomez, the yummy Mexican take-away that’s been there for a few years. And it was 4:30 – when I was supposed to pick Ms Lillian up. So I realised what had happened. I got up and left, rather embarrassed and hoping I hadn’t ordered something and was running away.

But it got me thinking, I wonder if I had had some sort of aura, which made me sit down and have the seizure. I have read that you often don’t remember these, so maybe I did have one – I knew I was going to have a seizure so I decided to sit down in case I did something dangerous like run across the road. Trouble is, I’ll never know. But it’s a nice thought.:)

    A bit like “Before I go to sleep”. Perhaps you can get a take recorder turned on or start up a video camera when the aura appears.

    Kevin’s idea is a good one. There’s a woman who has facial blindness (can’t register faces), who wears a video recorder and studies the footage later. I wonder if that would be helpful?

    Big hugs. Xxx
