I know I haven't been around here on CWE much lately, but life's been so busy I haven't had much time to do anything online other then keep up with my "side business" with my Volkswagen forum.
Time has gone by pretty fast and I'm in a much better place then I was when I first came here to CWE. Back then I was scared, frustrated, and clueless about E. I've since learned so much from the wonderful people here and managed to pull my life back together. For those of you who don't know me, my wife was diagnosed with E last March after 3 T-C's in 1.5 years. I then had a nervous breakdown and lots of hard times. But in time, I've really managed to learn to cope, help my wife, and deal with all that E can bring.
Tera has been well, taking Keppra still. She hasn't had a known seizure or any seizure activity in over a year now. She's driving on the regular again and soon will be looking to get back to working. Her depression has been much better and we've been doing really well with our still new marriage.
We took a trip to the Bahamas a few weeks ago. We went on a Royal Caribbean cruise and it was amazing. It was a great reminder that she's still the girl I fell in love with 11 years ago and we can still have a great time together. I think we both really needed it. I still get worried from time to time and think "why me, why her?" Then my head wants to explode and not turn off. Just getting out and having time to ourselves and on such a beautiful vacation was perfect.
I'm still not 100% past all of this, as there are still times I hear a noise and think, could it be? However I'm in a place now were I can move on and be happy again. Truly happy like I was before all of this.
I guess I just wanted to share my story and hope with all of you. I wish you all well and thanks so much for all the support and wonderful people here on CWE!
You all rock! :rock:
