Friend " How you doing?"

F "Um are you good?"
M "Sure"
F " That's not a yes"
M "Sure"
F "Can you say anything else"
M "Sure" ....
 
"Oooooh! Look at you shaving your legs and tanning your pasty body. Hot date?"

"Nah, in hospital Video EEG."
 
HAHAHA WOBBLEZ!! I totally just did that!!!! My VEEG is on for this Monday and my epileptologists told me to wash my body but not my hair before the VEEG (they don't care before a simple EEG or an ambulatory but having the collodion gel is different from simple conductant). As I'm usually very well put together, My roommates all asked "Why aren't you washing your hair?"
"It's an epileptic thing, you wouldn't understand." Totally packed a razor as well lol!
 
"Please John? Can we just wait a little, please? I'm too scared to do the strobe test right now..." :/
-"That's okay- hmmm what if we sneak attack it on you so there won't be that waiting fear? We can try something new if you want!"
"Noooo! I'll be on guard the whole time....!"
-"We'll figure something else then, okay? Don't be scared, Seize...We'll get the party started- a surprise dance party!"



-"If you let me take your blood pressure, we'll let you hold on to our little finger pulse monitor, okay, Seize? You're not with the security people now, 'kay? You're with us- your EMT squad! Hey guess what? It's me, Ryan! Remember me? Here, see? You can hold on to that a little longer, alright? We'll let you have our little black thingy for a little more alright? Just let us take BP okay?"

*grasping it and weeping ridiculously* "It's mine.......it's mine....nooooo! No please? Please? Noo, please? You can't I need it!!! Noyoucan'thaveitit's.MINE.NOW. It's *my* little black thing!" *still weeping*
I totally held out my arm- seriously there was postictal negotiation lol! After a seizure I am totally obsessed with the pulse monitors- seriously, my parents even have a picture of me cuddling it, after two separate instances in hospital!! :)

"We'll give you your own one next time, Seize!"
 
Okay so really someone should type all the up and publish lol

"It's just a flesh wound...another day another gash."

"How did I get a bruise THERE??"

"Where am I?"

"I could open a fecking pharmacy."

"Oh God...I got a new roommate. Wonder how she'll take it..."

"You say you know what it looks like but I actually look waaaay different than those posers on TV..."
 
"You suck at your job!" to a cop. I don't remember it at all as i'd been coming out of a seizure when they came on scene and i went into another shortly after. Fortunately it's been acknowledged he was being a jerkface and i wasn't being shockingly, unpleasantly outrageous without provocation.
 
"It's not dandruff, it's remaining collodion conductant glue. That shit takes forever to wash out, my EEG was a week ago..."

"You should have seen the look on his face!"

"No more glass dishware for me..."

"Damn it..."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait...I forgot my tablets."

"I seriously can't remember how to tie my shoes."

"And then I had a seizure...."

"What just happened ??"

True, I hate that glue stuff they use for the EEGs.
After my Video EEG was over the 1st thing I did was hop in the shower to wash my hair & at less attempt to get the glue out lol. It took a few days to get all the glue out & the stuff stuck on everything.
 
"Aw Seiz we missed you over the holiday! We knew it was you."
"How did you know?"
"You're the only epileptic with an Irish accent on this campus..."

"If you're going to shine that strobe light in my face I'm going to need restraints."

"It's my birthday- my epileptologist let's me have three beers. We are NOT wasting this opportunity. Let's go."
 
"wake up! wake up! some thing is burning!" few minutes later....sheepishly I say, "oops. sorry honey, go back to sleep"

"no i did not put that pink floppy hat on my head and wonder around CVS like that"
 
"I'll shout kidnap if you try to take me to the hospital."

"Don't freak out; it only looks scary..."

"Can you watch me take a bath? That sounded awful...can you sit on the other side of the shower curtain while I take a bath?"

"The band aids across my neck are covering a bad reaction to electrodes, not a failed suicide attempt."

"I *do* know how to swim."

"I don't belong to a gym...I'm fit because my seizures happen so often that my body gets frequent and incredible workouts."

"GET AWAY from me." *whack* "I told you, go get away!..... Eric? Eric, was that you? I'm sorry I don't hate you, don't go away. DON'T TOUCH ME! But don't go away...please?"
"Seiz, you're like a...well...you're postictal. There are actually no comparisons. "


Isn't it funny how we smell different things as an aura? I smell bleach, a friend smells citrus, you smell something burning...anyone else here smell anything as part of their auras?

I don't know if it's normal..but what is as far as E? but I have a few smells. besides the house being on fire (which happens way less than others and always while sleeping) the main two smells are metal..it's strange and hard to explain. the other is a cigarette just being lit specifically by a match.
 
"I can't, I have a neurology/epileptology appointment."

"Good luck! I hope you seize!"

"I'm going to regret this later..."

"Oh no..."

"I'm sorry."

Our EMS/EMT squads both on and off campus know me; even though it's their job and they aren't ever mad, I always feel guilty for wanting them to be there when I wake up. I never want them to transport me but I always worry now, especially after my two statuses in December....it's a relief knowing that they are there.
 
"Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright."

"Woo, just a flesh wound."

"I...I....oh forget it. I can't remember what just happened or what I was going to say."
