Things epileptics do:

We bought a house this spring, after I finished painting inside and had it epileptic-proofed my friend/realtor came by for a visit.

I average 7.8 seizures a week (mostly a mix of simple & complex partials and only a few t/c's now with the keppra).

She knows I'm epileptic but I may be the only epileptic she knows...

She said: You have a lot of computers & laptops.

I thought: Well I never know if I'll make it out of bed, or end up on the couch; if I'm lucky I get to spend time in the office. And if I'm going to feel like crap i need something to entertain me and I'm sure as heck not carrying a laptop around the house.

She said: And a phone in every single room...and each bathroom.

I thought: (I'm home alone alot) Well I never know when and where I'm going to seize and it has happened in the bathroom so I have my husband and parents numbers programmed into the phones! Believe me I want a phone handy!

She didn't comment on the fact that I have a clock hanging on nearly every wall. I like to track time as I seem so have lapses of time in my day. All to often where i am is not where I last remember being :dontknow: :roflmao:

She didn't mention the numerous monthly calendars throughout the house that have each day that has passed crossed off. For some reason /innocent look I have a problem remembering what day, what month and what year I'm in. :p

Excellent thread everyone, it feels good not to be alone.

as much as i hate to say it,

do you know how nice of a feeling it is, when an ambulance and a firetruck come rushing up, and you have shit to do with it for a change. And you can just walk off to enjoy your soda.

"I thank you ahead of time for not buying strobe fireworks."

"I'm just going to nap while all of you go to the theatre...."
 
I'm feeling tired - must be stressed out from work
I'm feeling depressed - must be the weather
I'm feeling dizzy - must be catching a cold
I can't put 2 thoughts together in a coherent sentence - must have the flu
I'm stumbling over my own feet ...

OH ... I'm just overdosing on my Dilantin again!

(followed by the joy of coming down from a Dilantin high :))
