(in the local CostCo)
Me, to a lady- "Hey! (*small back-and-forth casual conversation*) Well I'll see you in a month or so!"

Roommate- "Who was that?"

Me- "Oh that's Sue. She's one of the EEG techs at the hospital. She "calls dibs" on me whenever I go in for tests. I'm totally her favourite. Oh, also, her husband is my new neurologist I was telling you about haha."

Roommate- "Whoa."

--------------

Ex-roommate (with friend in tow)- "Ohhh, tell me how's your epilepsy? Did they figure stuff out yet?"

Me- "Well, I had a 40 second Absence the other day, followed by two tonic clonic seizures so pretty much swallowed the whole day. Pre-ictally I was pretty okay but my postictal period was craaazy. You totally would have laughed. Then yesterday I had a partial where I put my fist through a pane of glass so my neurologist and I decided to up my Leviteracetam by 500mg and my Lamotrigine by 300mg. I'm intractable so we're just working stuff out. You know how it is."

Ex-roommate- "The disturbing part, well parts, of that was that 1) you're still having those really long mega-serious seizures, and 2) that, beside the actual drug names, I understood exactly what you were saying."

Ex-roommate's friend's face- 0.o

So my new boyfriend said to me today "No seizures are good seizures" with a straight face. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Lol!! No seize is a good seize!



"Not sure if I just seized or if I'm super bored. I can't, and don't, remember half of that prof's lecture..."

"Did you pour water on me or did I pee my pants? You've done the whole water thing before but I've done the whole pee thing before too."

"I'm pretty sure that intennnnse ictal scream I did last week is why people in the 1500s though people with epilepsy were possessed..."

"It was like you were being electrocuted."
"I was being electrocuted. By...myself."

"Ugh, totally drooled all over my shirt. Hmmm. Sexy."

You spelt epilepsy wrong! ugh! It's e-p-i, uh, e--p-i-l- ummm,? hold on I forget... but there is a y in it and you do not have a y....

I have this conversation with people so many times. I can only spell epilepsy when writing it but not out loud. and it's very annoying. I get epsiliy epillsie epillisy it's an 8 letter word. it can't be that hard...

LOL Neil!!! I do the EXACT same thing!


"John, don't call UniTown 911 dispatch, okay?"

"Okay, we won't...."

"Promise?"

"Okay. I promise."

---wake up to 20 guys in blue, cue postictal freak out/crying---

"What the f---, where the f--- am I???? Who the f#%^ ARE you? John? John? JOHN what did you do?!? You PROMISED! You promised!!! You promised " (more crying)

"Okay, soooo...we called UniTown 911 dispatch. I'm sorry! I'm sorry Seize, I'm sorry. I promise though, my boss called them, not me!"


"What's a random skill I have? A random fact? I am a complete PRO at having seizures. TOTAL pro."

Epileptics around a table of beer- that seriously sounds f-cking brilliant....I think it would be such fun to meet people from CWE in person
