january:
-29/2011... three years ago today i had one of the worst grand mals and my first one alone. it was the sz that brought about the MRI that found the lesion.
-also... my mel (2ndchances) is 9 months post-op today!
-31/2011 ... the day i left my neurologist. the appt was about the sz two days prior and to book eeg/mri. i was very distraught, and he made my bf stand against the wall rather than sit with me, so his nursing student could have the other chair. that was it, i got the tests booked and left, knowing i would never go in his office again. my gp was angry at his behaviour and unprofessionalism and sent me to the provincial epilepsy team... they saved me.
-also... this is my day 180 seizure-free. this was mel's biggest most special day in her so-far 9 months recovery journey, when she did the epilepsy triathlon and raised money. i was on day 77 and admired her so, and this friday, i'm there
february:
-4/2014... 6 months seizure-free
-9/14... 6 months since surgery (and legally allowed to drive again)
-12/14... first post-op and seeing the team that saved my life
-14/2011 ... three years ago today my lesion was found. valentine's day will never be the same, i LOVE my surgeon for taking it out and making me ok.
-brings a silver lining on the dick that my neuro was that day... i stayed long enough for him to schedule testing, and that mri gave my epilepsy a true cause. so dr. daly, thank you for that.
:crying: overwhelming three weeks ahead, thanks for being part of all this friends. most of all... mel. i know you know b/c i've said it like 8 million times but it's always so fresh... i couldn't have made it this far without you, i love you.
