Organizing my Life

[BeingMe]

Just got back from a week in the hospital. H had to fly home. I had a seizure ... never had one in my life before. They took brain scan, then MRI, then EEG, and put me on anti-convulsion medication. I haven't had another one, and will be seeing my doctor this week to find out the result of the tests. All he could say was that it wasn't a tumour, so that's a relief. It was very confusing because I remember talking to my H, then waking up in bed, and he said he heard a weird sound, then silence. He tried calling back, but no-one was answering. My D15 was away at camp, and S21 was at work. So, he phoned S21, and told him to go home and see what's happening. He got home with me just getting up from my bed with a sore right arm (all bruised), and my tongue all bloodied, and I was very confused. He called 911, and next I knew I was in the emergency ward, with H on his way home. I am now not allowed to drive until all is sorted out, and not allowed to travel, so couldn't go see my D28 in the USA this week.

Shows you how quickly life can change, and turn things upside down. My H has just left to go back to work, promising to phone me every hour on the hour. Oy! I feel like I have lost my independence, but I will find a way to get it back. I guess I will be taking the bus a lot.

Makes me wonder how many people from this bb disappear because of health issues, and we never hear what happens to them. Which is why I've posted this ... not for sympathy (I've had enough of that this last week), but just so y'all know.

Look after yourselves. Our health is so precious, and we need it to be good in order to deal with all this and be there for your kids (which was my greatest fear when we thought that it could be something like a tumour that could have longlasting impact). I am so grateful for those who were there for me, who thought about me, and prayed for me, and that this doesn't seem to be a life threatening illness.
