Seizures

[WorshipGirl2000]

During this week, I had one of the worst episodes I have ever had. On my way home from the store, I fell to the ground on the side of the road into a full grand-mal seizure. I had at least one before someone found me face-first on the concrete, nose bleeding, no shoes on, in the rain. They called an ambulance where I was taken to one hospital that called my mom before transferring me to a different facility. I had one more episode in the ambulance ride over and when I came to, I couldn't even make out real words.

Due to my past with depression (still trying to fight through) they had to keep me overnight. At this point, I can't leave my house without a babysitter, I can't get a job, no money means no way to pay for school, which leads to no life. I have no purpose at this point.... I just feel worthless.

I know exactly how that feels. I was agoraphobic for ten years. Don’t let hopelessness consume you. I been down that road. It is not pleasant.

What just hit me now. They have dogs that are trained to sense when someone is going to have a seizure. Maybe that might be an avenue to explore? It might allow you to have more independence?

Thank you. I have 3 dogs at the moment so I might not be able to get one just yet, but I appreciate the tip and will look into it for the future!

Wow 3. Do they all get along?

Yes. They are actually a family. We got the first one (our girl) by choice, the 2nd one was my brother's originally but he passed it onto us when he was told by the landlord he couldn't keep him. Neither of them were fixed so we ended up with a litter of puppies and kept the biggest of the bunch. He is now about 4.5 years old and they are a happy pack!
