I took a week or so off here.  Lots going on.  On Wednesday, I went to attend Rachael’s great Aunt’s funeral and literally, when I sat down in the pew and it started, a seizure began.  Most of my seizures haven’t amounted to much since July of 2007 after my first craniotomy.  They are pretty small in intensity.  As we stood to sing Amazing Grace, it came on stronger and I had to sit.  I took an ativan and waited about 5 mins.  No relief.  I took another – still wasn’t subsiding.  So, my Father-In-Law helped out of the service.  I wanted to be in the car with the air running.

 Rachael came out and after a total of 45 mins elapsed, I made the call to go to the ER.  I was there from about Noon to 6pm.  They IV’d ativan and morphine since my left arm had smacked the gurney so many times.  Not much else to say.  It was brought under control and that is what I knew would happen by making the trip but it’s not too fun. 

I feel pretty good now.  I have had 3-4 since – small ones, which is common after a large seizure like this.  We are opting to look at this as a one-time event and not be reactive and start changing the meds around.  This could be gamma knife related.  I’m still in the 6 month post period when seizures can ramp up.   More to come on all of this.

 Just to be safe, I’m having an MRI later next week, then leaving for Lake Tahoe as planned for a nice getaway on Friday morning – regardless. 

 Cheers – stay in today…
