Oh, hey month I let pass by, what's up?


I said I was going to update more often, didn't I?
Hmm. I'll have to work on that.

I had my 4th seizure in 15 months on Wednesday. The irony is I was headed into Boston for a last minute doctor's appointment. My back and hip had been bothering me. My doctor was out of the office so I was scheduled to see someone else in his office.

I was on the Lowell/Boston train drinking an iced coffee and listening to my ipod. I remember finishing the coffee and (maybe?) leaning against the side after passing the North Billerica stop. The next thing I remember, I'm completely strapped into an ambulance. I can hear the sirens but it takes me awhile to place everything. I'm always amazed at how calm I am when I don't know anything. They always ask the simplest questions, ones I know I should know but I don't at that moment.
I even said I lived at the address of our old apartment!!
When I was still out they checked my wallet for my address I ended up at Saints Medical in Lowell. As soon as I was feeling a little more myself I texted Amy and her co-worker so she would know what happened. She got to the hospital quickly. The doctor raised the dose of my seizure meds and off I went - with a nice gash on my face most likely caused by my nails, and bumps and bruises.
