About Me

My photo
My name is Emily. I am 33 years old and a very happy individual. My husband and best friend of the past 13 years is Keith. Together we have two perfect children (non-biased of course), Sarah 9, and Ethan 5. My greatest pleasure on Earth is spending all of my time with these three people (no joke). The newest member of our family is of the four-legged variety, our pup Belle! Things at my house are never dull.

I'm where?

Have you ever gone to bed and not woken up in your bed, or your bedroom for that matter. This has happened to me twice now. It really is a freaky feeling. I went to bed Friday night as usual, and I woke up in an ambulance. The EMT was asking me questions that I should know, but couldn't for the life of me answer. Questions like...Do you know your name?...What city do you live in?...What is your address? I couldn't answer any of these questions. For the address question, I did manage to tell him that my garage is a mess, but that was about it.

You are probably wondering what in the **** is wrong with me. I don't even really know the answer to that question. I had a seizure Friday night. I had a seizure and scared my poor husband and family to death, again. You see, this is not my first seizure. I had two of them, ten years ago. Am I epileptic? Don't know, but it is not looking good. The medicine that I have to take to not have seizures makes me feel awful. When I take it, all I want to do is get in my bed and go to sleep. That does not make for very conducive working conditions. But, I am not going to complain, or whine. I have to take this stuff and that is exactly what I am going to do. I can't drive until I see the doctor again. That makes getting to work interesting. I am going to use my line that I have used all year...."It is what it is." At least I am alive to complain about it.

I'm proud of you for taking your meds. You are a good girl!

I almost came by your house the other day to check on you, but I wanted to give you time to recooperate. Let me know if you need anything. I am right down the road after all.

A very similar thing just happened to my husband's sister. The doctors havent figured out what the cause is yet. Hopefully it wont take your doctors so long.
