After another episode/ seizure this week.
I dont know if it's ..
The beginning of the end..
Or The beginning of the long road back.
On.. Tuesday night into Wednesday morning.. I had another seizure.
The seizure itself, did not seem as.. severe as the one I had in May.
I went to see my neurologist yesterday.
Since the severe seizure I had just before Memorial Day, I've had .. good days and bad days.
At that time.. my BP was taken, and it was.. 160 over 110.
Yesterday.. my neurologist went off on me.
He accused me of.. "Not taking my medicine".
Er.. No.. I take it as directed every day.
He was like.
"You're not taking care of yourself. why dont you get your BP checked?"
It s like.
How don't I take care of myself? I was trying to feel better, before going for more tests, with as crappy as I was feeling.
So..
For whatever reason, my neurologist took it upon himself, to call a group of internists he knows.
This morning, I got up, and was so sick/weak/upset/pissed off.
I was like. "Even though I'm trying to feel better before actually going for a physical, let me just get it over with. Whatever it is, it is. If the BP is high, fuck it".
I went in, early in the morning, and did not have to wait. (Unusual in NYC, where one usually has to wait.. hours even if they do have an appt).
My BP. the first time.. was .. 128 over 86.
I was shocked, considering how terrible it was a few weeks ago. Also, it is usually high when I first go into the office, they wait a bit, take it again, and then it goes down. Not this time. The Dr said the reading was fine, even the first time. They did not have to take it again.
My weight.,. 162 lbs.
All the weight from Lancaster .. is gone. And then some. I have not been this light, since I was in my mid to late 20s.
They took one set of my blood tests. I have to go back for another set of blood tests next week.
Now.. we see what happens.
This summer has been horrible with my health, even though I have had one actual major seizure, and the second one this week, which was probably technically a minor seizure/blackout etc.
I posted in May how if I keep having seizures,.. I was told by my neurologist that it could eventually kill me,.
I told one of my aunts. "I think something is going to happen to me".
Being how she is.. she brushed that off.
I posted a few weeks ago how I feel differently, for the worse, since the massive seizure in May.''
Even though. the last time I saw my father on Father;'s Day. He was like. "Oh, you seem fine".
I honestly dont know what is going to happen next.
I hope.. that I get the blood tests over with, get the results, and can begin to rebuild.
We'll see.
Gosh.. Having a serious medical condition that can kill you at any time.. sucks.
