My first public seizure was just a few weeks ago.Thank God my husband was there with me. My son went to a school dance so my husband and I went out to dinner together.We went to a little Greek place right down the street from my house.We didn't realize it until we got there that on Friday nights they have music and Belly Dancers. I thought it was kind of neat to watch the dancers until they started clapping their finger simbles.Well I guess with the loud music, the finger simbles and the ladies moving all around the floor it set me off. The last thing I remember was ordering our food and a friend approaching our table. She asked me a question and I could not speak to answer her. The next thing I knew we were standing in my kitchen at home and my husband said lets get you to bed. I said why? I'm not tired! He said you just had a Grand Mal in the resturaunte. And then it hit me I couldn't move my left arm and my whole body felt like I had been hit by a truck. I was very lucky that my husband was there and the manager and waiter were very nice.
