Early to bed

Look at that. It's twenty past two in the afternoon, I had a good nights sleep last night and I'm knackered. Complex partial seizure perhaps?

This has got to be the worlds largest pain in the arse, bar none. Thank goodness that I had a decent lunch (It's amazing what you can do with potato's). Wait and see, I won't put up with it much longer, oh no, I'll go off to bed and sleep through the day - and night.

I hope that you hear the snoring :))

Another bloody disaster

Yesterday was a right bloody disaster. I had an appointment to see the alcohol nurse at the hospital in town and I was looking forward to seeing her. She's a nice lass and easy to talk to - but, big but - on the way to seeing her I went into seizure.

I'd had my breakfast at the Harbour Cafe, it's always a bit of a treat for me because I don't need to cook it - and then I was in the Gilbert Bain Hospital. That's tonic-clonic epilepsy for you!!!

How long I was there for, how I got there, I'm sorry, I have no knowledge. I just remember a smashing breakfast and then being in hospital with a few scratches, a bit of blood and some bruising to my face, oh, and a headache. I guess that I landed on it.

I had a chat to the doctor, who is arranging further meetings and I left at around three o'clock.

Straight to the bus station, on to the bus and home. What a wonderful day - when I could have done something constructive for a change.

The headache hasn't gone away yet which might indicate further seizures - or a broken nights sleep tonight, who knows ;))

I've not keeled over - for a day or two!!!

I don't think that I've keeled over for a day or two. It does get a bit confusing sometimes but the weekend went really well from my perspective, which may well be a bit different from yours, as epilepsy, from the two forms that I suffer from, is so destructive in memory.

But as I say, it has been running pretty well  for the last couple of days. It would be great if it runs on for another few days, maybe a week, I'm hoping for a month, haha, that'll be right, but you have to have hope in your heart don't you ;))

I do carry on hoping though. You cannot give up, that's the road to suicide isn't it, it's an option I suppose but it's not really a good one :))

Last Friday it started

Aw, jings. I said to myself this morning, "I'll tidy up the lawn and mark it up so that I can see where to cut out for the new flowers." That'll be right, I got into the shower and at some point I had an epileptic seizure, keeled over and landed on my face. My neck and head are bloody sore and the new flowers can go and abuse themselves with a smile on their faces. I'm doing nothing useful today.

It's been a crap week to tell the truth. Last Friday I had to clean up the wall, the radiator and the fridge-freezer because I obviously had a cup of coffee in my hand when I went into seizure. I spent Saturday in bed because of it. I had a fit on Sunday, possibly in the morning, don't know anything more about it, other than the fact that I woke up for dinner at half past six at night, just before bedtime. Then today I had a fit in the shower. Because of that, both my neck and head hurt and my nose has had a good belt too.

Sod the garden, sod the dinner, I'll soon be in my bed - I can't get hurt there - I hope :(
