> Kat, are you OK? and Bridgey?
> rainyI am going to be OK... I am going to be fine...
It may not be for a couple of months... but I am going to be the finest healthiest happiest person you ever knew...
right now I am the scaredest person you ever knew and may soon be calling my psychologist just to talk about fear and all that...
and I swore I never would need him again...
however I shall also be back on line driving you all crazy on a regular basis too...not only that but I have started two new meds or will be starting them this evening and one of them, have not picked up the other yet, according to the print-out has appetite killing propensities...
oh joy ...
that is a pleasing thought right there...
at the moment I am planning to spend a lot of time in bed reading... doing very little...
checking my computer occasionally...
I have black eyes, and my nose is bruised and puffy from the ambulance attendants who were determined that I would wear their oxygen masks...even unconscious I was determined that they were trying to stop me from getting air <g>...
and the second ride was almost 70 miles to a larger hospital with a neurological clinic so it was a longer fight...
I am bruised all over and really sore...
and have taken the pledge that I shall have none of these generalised seizures ever again...
this is the fourth of the tonic clonic seizures I have had since the end of August and while the information they gave me to read when I was leaving today says that they should not last more than a minute or two I was out for almost twelve hours and then in and out for another ten or so...
not a fun thing... the worst part was for my husband...
he was conscious through it all and says I took thirty years off his life... I believe it. He looks worse than I do...
If it weren't for the learning experience and for the possibility of losing tegretol I would have preferred to miss the whole thing believe me...
when things finally settled down Tuesday night, one of the things I really missed was you people...
wished I had my laptop... figured you would help make it make sense...
Irene already did with her info about potassium...
each time I drink this awful stuff I will remember all the damage lack of potassium can do and soldier through...
