Really cool (or not so cool) thing happened today


Hi everyone,
Well I went to the mall today to get some stuff done and look for ideas for my son's 21st birthday gift. I went into a store and saw some lights that were flashing like a strobe light. I started to smell the same sickly sweet smell I do as an aura. My partner Mike and I left the store long enough for me to sit down, breath deep, and stop the seizure before it started. (Something I learned using the Andrews-Reiter method )

Well, I went BACK into the shop after drinking some water and getting my bearings and spoke with the manager. I explained how strobing lights are a seizure trigger for some people with epilepsy. She responded with "Thank you M'am, I'll take care of it right away." Sure enough, she went over to the display and turned it off! That was just so cool!

Peaceful Hugs,

Rose

Actually they had a really neat dragon cell phone holder for his desk that I am seriously thinking of buying and that is in my price range.

Peaceful Hugs,
Rose
