..hmm...
I've been fine this morning, so no alarm in the subject title but just had a thought bubble pop in my head.
When you guys are postictal, how do you act? And do you have memories of it? I do... and they're very strange.
To remember not remembering your own name, your dob, your mother's name, the president, the year - very strange things to remember NOT remembering, lol. I always seem to immediately know whose around me though but that's it - I won't know who I am but I've known immediately as I'm told(it's hazy) that I know my family whose around me.
I knew my mom, my brother, my wife... but like nothing else... and I did something strange with my brother once... I was apparently very ashamed and had to pee very bad but wouldn't let him help me but I was so wrecked, I couldn't stand. (I usually can't stanmd for a few hours after my TC's, walking takes the better part of a day...), and so almost immediately after my TC, while post-ictal, I apparently did a hercules act, was able to stand, forced myself into a restroom and actually ably used the facilities... before collapsing and smacking my head on the ground this one time.
But yea, don't know why I mentioned that one, but gist is... anyone else known that sensation of, 'remembering... NOT remembering...' it's really something I can't explain to people who haven't had a TC or brain issue...
And on a related side note, something I been noticing with my typos on here now... wierd. I'm an author, I write novels consistently, have a superb vocabulary and type incredibly fast... but lately, when typing(and talking), I'm using wrong words or words of context to meaning or even spelling words incorrectly(which is sacrilege to me, lol.)
