Well, just a quick note because I am crashing on two ativan tablets but I had the longest focal seizure tonight that I have had since the severe seizure I had 6 days after surgery. It was confined to my left leg as the mild one I had at the office back 4 weeks ago was but this one spanned 30 minutes. I took an ativan about 10 mins into it and then another 10 minutes later. I spoke with my neurologist and we could have taken the commando approach and gone to the hospital but it wasn’t severe enough in my estimation to do that.
It is frustrating! Your brain is sending signals to your leg to stop the movement and its ignored. Of course there is the anxiety with regard to what this could all mean. I didn’t have any for several months and now two within a month. You turn it over. We prayed about it. We didn’t pray for strength – for courage or faith in Him. We prayed that God reign down upon us, that He was here that He surrounded us and comforted us – that He was with us and wrapped his arms around us – boldly moved forward with us in resolving this and as a result, gave us comfort and strength.
John 16:33 Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.
Will write more tomorrow. No word today from UCSF. I’m sure I will talk w/them tomorrow. Time to crash!
