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 ;))

Everyday First Aid: Seizure (epilepsy)

Yesterday, maybe

Yesterday, something wrong happened. Around about six o'clock, teatime, my memory stops. Nothing at all until around nine thirty this morning when I woke up in bed. No recollection at all as to what, if anything, happened.

I suspect that I had a tonic-clonic seizure, probably in the living-room, as my face is a bit tender, my right-hand cheek a bit bruised and tender but that in itself will not be a problem. Tomorrow, perhaps Monday at the latest and it will be gone.

I guess that I picked myself up at sometime and went to bed and slept it off. Pity that there is no recollection of what happened. No more than a guess at the time that the mental clock switched off and no idea of bedtime.

At least it was the right bed, I suppose :))

Back on my feet!!!

I slept well last night, thank goodness as I had to come into town today. I feel OK now which is surprising as I usually suffer a bit longer when I have a tonic-clonic seizure. The arm is a bit bruised but that's all.

Fingers crossed that I can stay on my feet today, not so bad if it happens on the bus as they know where to dump me!!!
