Seizures

My hands shake so bad, I got a job at Home Depot, as a paint mixer.

Seizures are very strange. One minute you're doing something, the next thing you know, there are paramedics asking you questions.

I'm not even aware of what just happened, in the first place, let alone where or who I am. Mind you, our EMTs do a great job, and get there fast. It's just really strange being on the other side.

They always want me to go to the hospital, which is protocol, but I never go. Actually, I think I've gone twice. Once, while talking to my friend and pharmacist, I dropped like a rock and hit my head pretty hard. I was released, which was not a surprise to me. I was sore for a few days, but not bad.

The last time, I hit my head again and stopped breathing. A nurse was there to perform CPR, for which I was very grateful. I've heard if you don't breath, there can be some adverse effects.

I hope the changes in medication will help. We'll see. In the meantime, I'll continue to make lemonade, which is not hard for me to mix.

I'm very thankful for all of the friends, family and strangers who continue to help in so many ways.

Now, if you don't mind, I have some paint to mix.

See you tomorrow.
