SO yesterday morning didn't start off so great.
I couldn't get out of bed until like 11 and my mother-in-law came and took the kids and made sure my daughter got to school since I was all a-clusteredup.

2mg ativan at 11 a.m. and maybe a seizure or two and resting and then I'm off to work.

3 seizures at work and
I was doing some crazy stuff.
Sooooooooo confusing to be there but it was sooo funny.

I was at reception and I was dropping people's visa cards.
Trying to place the phone back onto the atm hook instead of the phone hook.
Picking up the scanner like it's a phone.
Concentrating reaaaaaaaaaaaaaallly hard to get anything accomplished.
After the 3rd seizure I thought I should go home.
One vet drives me to my mother's home which is closerby. Total silence. SO out of it. I wonder just how long my work is going to be good to me?

Went to the hospital to see if I could get some clonazepam that the one dr. suggested there before he divorced me. Ha! Not that he was my husband...you know what I mean.
Instead I get a social worker on me I guess because clonazepam is a controlled drug and then there's more talk about how it's difficult to get anything done from here without a psychiatrist. Even for an anti-depressant and it's apparently going to be a looooooong wait because I live in an area that is a cheaper city to live in (which is a rare thing near Toronto area) that has an inordinate amount of people with special needs, special mental issue needs.
So I guess my little problem would fall short on the list.
The system is messed up I tell you. But hey, nothing's wrong with me!

But I don't know if it's the decrease in Keppra but I'm sleeping alot more
and everything is making me smile and laugh! But I'm aware that is strange. So my guess is that I'm going to have a seizure soon-ish and then things will feel more normal.

My feet were dragging the other day. Couldn't lift my left foot. Went to the car to have a seizure but it's all good. Right? I am laughing so hard right now.
Better go.

OH my gosh, I can't stop laughing!!!! It's freaking hilarious but it's starting to hurt my chest. I did have a seizure but I'm having a laughter cluster seizure. Ah man, my cheeks hurt. Goodness, I hope I haven't snapped.
 
Maybe you're having gelastic seizures? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelastic_seizure

It's ridiculous that you can't get proper care. I think you and Rae should get together and right an open letter to the Canadian Health care system. Some things it does right, and some things it seems to do terribly wrong....
 
Went to my 3rd and final local hospital. They were nice. I could tell they didn't want to touch my case let alone sneeze at it but they did break a 10 min seizure with ativan and I now have a name of a psychiatrist who will call me in a week or two.
THat's all they can do. OTher than that they just cannot help. We'll see what happens.
