without putting any thought to it my first answer would be anywhere in water (tub, pool, ocean) for the added risk of drowning. has happened to me once so far but SO LUCKY my body fell out of the shower doors rather than staying in. will never forget that day.
and i know cint will jump in here anytime on that one... she unfortunately wasn't so lucky.
I set the alarm on my watch, put my head down, and slept for an hour. Woke up, had two hours to write the exam, and finished it.. still managed a B+ somehow.
Hi, first time poster long time follower. My husband has epilepsy and he had a seizure the day after our son was born in the maternity ward. This was only the second one I had seen, (first being on the day I told him I was pregnant..true story)I FREAKED out. I blame it on all the hormones. They took him to the ER and the nurse was so shitty. Treating him like he faked it or something?!?! I was so upset because he smacked his head and wanted some Advil and she wouldn't give him anything. Agreed though, Hospitals suck for seizure time.
