Forty-five seconds. A blip, and likely an inevitable one, after which I rolled over and went to sleep. I'm making a real effort to convince myself that forty-five seconds mean nothing, but they keep tossing around my head, unwilling to simply be what they were—one complex partial seizure among dozens I've had this calendar year. … Continue reading Forty-Five Seconds

I’m home! A neurology resident stopped by my room yesterday and told me that since I was doing better than expected, I would be discharged and my medication titration would continue on an outpatient basis.

Though I usually plan to read, listen to … Continue reading Wheel-Trans Convos

Seizure Me can be such a jerk. Case in point: she's taken to referring to my husband as "The Dolt." In the third person. To his face.
