This is not a rant.
Even though it's personal, I can probably post it.
On Tuesday, May 22, I experienced a seizure that was as severe as the one I had which put me in the hospital in November 2015.
I had been sick, and when I got out of bed to go to the kitchen., I had a severe seizure which rendered me unconscious on the floor for several minutes.
I contacted my neurologist. He told me to go to the hospital if it happened again, which it didnt
The next day, I had a brain scan, which showed supposedly "nothing". He thought that the seizure was caused by a virus. I dont know.
My blood pressure has been extremely high, worse than it was when I lived in PA, even though I'm 30 pounds lighter than I was when it was first diagnosed.
I've been able to go out. I went to the Jersey Shore twice since the seizure happened.
I still watch Mr Jim Gardner every night.
I watched my two favorite teams to go at it, the Mets and Braves, twice since this incident happened.
Yet.
There have been definite changes.
I feel like I'm moving more slowly. My eating habits have changed. I used to love Chinese food. I would have it at least once or twice a week. I've had it ,.. maybe twice in the four weeks since the serious seizure happened. Lately I've had a craving for Apple Pie, which I had not eaten in many years. I seem to be eating it far more often now, and to have given up ice cream, my favorite dessert for a long time.
While I'm still.. interested in tickling, women's feet, and such.
The idea of.. Naomi Watts being held up by a tickling and toe sucking bandit, who tickled her, robbed her, and then forced her to stand barefoot on a huge ladder as he made his getaway. Does not seem as. "Interesting" as it once did.
There are other.,,. more very personal changes, that I should not and wont post about.
Even though I.. take my meds, visit the Dr, and try to watch my health.
The Dr told me that one of these seizures, is likely going to take my life.
I did not tell my Dad until quite a bit after the serious seizure,
My Dad was furious that i did not tell him. Of course, I did not tell him, because I did not want to upset him. I think he was more upset that I did not tell him.
I dont know what is going to happen. I've been told.. strongly, by one of my very close friends, that I can't "look over my shoulder", and analyze that something is going to happen to me. I just have to keep trying.
No brain damage from that seizure, and no further damage to my brain.
And yet.
I just don't know.
