I haven’t posted for a bit as I have been busy with work – putting in a lot of time lately.  This too will have to be quick but I’m going to go in this week and most likely adjust my meds again. 

 Yesterday I had a focal seizure that just wouldn’t go away.  I ended up taking 450mg more of one of my meds than I typically do in the AM (this occurred in the morning) and it still hadn’t subsided after 1 hour.  This one was in my left leg as opposed to upper left extremities so it’s in a different location.  Anyway, I took an Ativan which is pretty powerful so work for the day was done!  My co-worker agreed to drive me home which was so nice of him.   Even on the way home this just kept going so at this point it had been nearly an hour and a half.  When I got home I took one more Ativan, went and laid down and didn’t wake up until 3pm – everything was fine.  I think I mentioned that my Neurologist sees no correlation between these episodes and changes in the brain tumor.  I’ve done my own research and there are mixed theories.  It’s hard to know.  So, we’ll just follow up.  I have a functional MRI set up for the beginning of October which will I’m sure be very revealing.  Until then, all I can do is deal with things as they come.  It’s hard not to let your mind wander but as much as possible you just have to take it a day at a time…

 More later….
