Hi, Rae,

I hope your surgeries go well. Don't worry about the surgeries themselves and being under anesthesia. Anesthesia is one of the things they give people to stop seizures.

Paperwork... seems like there'd be some kind of advocate at the hospital that could help with those. But that would be too logical.
 
Having an advocate at a hospital would be good for us. It would make it easier to sue the hospital for their huge mistakes. That is why you will never find an advocate for us at a hospital.

Rae, I had status a couple of times. It turned out that I have diabetes. That was causing it. Diabetes and Epilepsy both cause seizures. They tested me for diabetes to rule it out. I had absolutely no symptoms.

I have not had status since I have kept my diet and exercise for my diabetes under control. Ask to be tested.
