Just seized need to talk ok


I was writing something somewhere on this forum and seized. My cat warned me but I did not heed. I'm mostly ok, sort of now. Carey is on his way home. I just can't stop crying. I hate this. I can't talk quite right yet and can walk a little, just from bed to here. All I know is I was online posting and posted it somewhere on this forum and now I'm home still and Carey is coming. I'm ok. Don't want to go to sleep. Ate some salt and water in case my blood sodium was low - I seize grandmal with low sodium. I don't remember, but I know I was on bed and cpap an o2 and called carey, could only moan. I remember cat was pawing me and all. I remember someone knocked on door but I could not move. Just kinda upset right now. Head feels like big ballooon.

Next day, (I think, lol), I'm fine. No prob. Taking it easy today. Carey keeps saying DON'T STAY ON PC SO MUCH. I have happy music playing on my Myspace playlists on another tab. Feel kinda tired but ok. Thanks for all the love and support. I have never felt so NORMAL with so many people before, THAnKS THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!! Not, seizing, just appreciative, would hug all of ya and squoosh the stuffin right out of ya if we were in person. One FABULOUS lady private messaged me in that time and I gave her my cell and she called and stayed on until Carey got home. Special thanks to her. I got kinda scared being alone because if I went up to the main area of the facility or called, they would have sent me to the hospital, I did NOT need that but still did not want to be alone. That's why Carey and I got mobile to mobile cell phones. Plus, my kids out of state have the same company and we all get mobile to mobile. (free). I hope we get another IRS Stimulous so I can put a huge chunk on my phone bill because I had a small trust fund that paid my phone bill/tv - and soon, VERY soon, we will only have what we get at the A.L.F. facility we live in - it is a great place and all. Takes whole check and we get $54/month for toiletries and such. They have a tv room with satelite tv and 1 free local call phone for all 100+ residents. So, I thank God that something more horrible than can be mentioned ended up with a settlement that lasted 4 yrs. If forgot the topic, but, I'm ok. Thanks. Love to all. Gail Lynn

one last thing (promise) - it was SOOOOO weird, I could not talk, could not walk, but could type slowly, then just zonked out totally in my wheelchair for a moment and then, I reckon POST-ictal could concentrate one key at a time though could not do else. Then, called Carey and could only moan into the phone, he said he'd be home as soon as he could get here - we use public transit and once or twice/month he goes downtown to an area called Overtown to visit his elderly granddaddy. He needs more breaks but in our room, I do my thing on the pc and he watches his tv most days - 5 yrs + 3 mos together we should get along huh???? He's the best person in the world, we both lived a lifetime hunting for each other and now everyday is like Christmas for us and just gets better and better. We have a motto: IN IT TO WIN IT and IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL!!! Oh, we argued a LOT the 1st yr, but now as Carey would say "IT's ALL GOOD"!!! Uh, what was the topic???? OH, yeah, it is so wild in the Pre and POST "ictal" stages - the body for me - does not work but the brain (hahahahaha, thinking of our "friend") still works ever so s l o w l y. I can still think but cannot respond and afterwards, the memory is worse than ever. It seems the memory gets worse with each seizure and the latest MRI was fine - nothing showed up - just butterflies, or moths !!! lol. Seriously, the MRI shows no scarring - kind of scared me though - the report said - "a normal reading for age". So, what does that mean? At 52 my brain looks like scrambled eggs and it's normal - the doc says ??? Hahaha. You are here by rescued by the RAMBLER - nature is calling.............lol.

I know I am sticking my nose in here but, don't get too bent up about the test results. I waited for ten years for the results to finally reveal what I had been living, and I have had enough tests to be my own night light!! I will probably die of radiation poisoning before anything elseI still get vague statements from my neurologist, like, 'you are an enigma'. i guess because I started late (37) nothing seems to work and I have it on both sides (Temporal lobe). I told my husband he should have checked the warrenty!!

Boy, a few typos and they throw ya under the bus...and here I was pleased to be somewhat coherant (yes I know I spelled that wrong but it was my best guess). Once upon a time I was an excellent speller, then the evil wizard stole my brain....
