New brain game - let's find something positive about having epilepsy...

[Joyful]

Jeff Foxworthy has made a living w/ his "You might be a redneck if.." jokes.
Let's start a new game - "You might have epilepsy if . . ."

RULE - Everything that is thought of MUST be a positive thing! :hugs:

I'll start by naming just a few - "You might have epilepsy if ..."

. . . you have your own personal chauffer.

. . . your 12 year old sometimes takes care of you b/c he cares.

:hugs:

Well this is a pleasant spin since I have only felt very negative and blue about this so far.

....if you have superhero powers (auras) like spiderman

thats all i got. looking forward to more.

 

[Joyful]

Good one! Let's see, how about...

.....if you have a good excuse to leave early from a wedding reception that you didn't really feel like going to in the first place!

 

[Pricilla]

hahahahaha i could apply this to most everything I'm anti-social

 

[Joyful]

Me too!

.....when you really know who cares about you in this world since superficial people who couldn't handle your condition don't stick around. Good riddance.

 

[Joyful]

So true!

....when your dog doesn't run off on you but stays by your side.

(This one comes w/ a story. A few years ago I was walking my dog, I tripped on a rock in the road and dropped the leash. I thought he was going to take off, but instead he came to my side and stayed there making sure I was okay. He wasn't a seizure dog, but I wouldn't be surprised if he could have been trained to be one. He was a yellow lab)

I think we have a similar thread in the archives. (The more the merrier of course!). If I can track it down I'll post the link just in case people want to check out more takes on the positive side of epilepsy...

I think the title had something to do with lemons and lemonade, Nak.

The lemonade one is an oldie but goodie, but the first link below was the thread I was thinking of...

I just found the lemons and lemonade one a few min. ago. Thanks Nak for the list above - it helps to look for the positive in things.
