The bad news is, she just doesn't like it and wants to go home. This is fine if you're already heading this direction. Not so good if she's headed for Tucson. <BR/><BR/>Never get hit in the head hard enough to cause a brain hemorrhage. That's my advice.<BR/><BR/>KwachKwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-89494738049065739522007-05-15T20:03:00.000-05:002007-05-15T20:03:00.000-05:00*ahem*You had sure as hell better bring your seizu...*ahem*<BR/>You had sure as hell better bring your seizure medication with you to Arizona, because I will shit my pants if you forget where we are in the middle of Texas.<BR/>Literally. I will shit. In my pants.

After on...That's some fine anonymous advice, there! <BR/><BR/>After one of these post-ictal events Ev will sometimes tell me she's surprised I never get annoyed with her for waking me up and being crazy in the middle of the night.<BR/><BR/>As I told her, she's not crazy and there's nothing to get annoyed about. One look at her and any thought I might have about my own comfort goes out the window. All I can think about at that point is how powerless I am to help her get through it, and how awful it must be to go from being Super-Evie to being that scared and disoriented.<BR/><BR/>Temporal Lobe Seizures are something you can't imagine if you haven't seen them. I wouldn't wish them on my worst enemy ... and certainly not on my best friend and sweetheart.<BR/><BR/>So, no ... there'll be no more skipping of medication doses ... and Ev loves water AND salty potato chips, so we'll try out your recipe for success!<BR/><BR/>KwachKwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36308462.post-12501495145307280512007-05-15T09:35:00.000-05:002007-05-15T09:35:00.000-05:00that was a harrowing tale. excellent as usual--i ...that was a harrowing tale. excellent as usual--i can actually feel the exhaustion. Seizure med tip to fight the sedative effects: increase the intake of pure water with a side of potato chips (where salt goes, water follows) which will decrease the blood level but still allow you to have the benefits without having to hold doses.
