Welp

Ok what happened? I had a seizure and spent a few days in the hospital. I don't remember much of it.


Monday night, my doggie friend Zoiks came over to stay here for close to 3 weeks; his people are vacationing in Costa Rica. I took the dogs to the park on Tuesday and Wednesday. After the park on Wednesday, I stopped by the grocery store and left the dogs in the car with the windows cracked open. While I was in the grocery store, I fell down and had a seizure. This has never happened before.

I woke up in the hospital and stayed there for 2 nights, but only have snatches of memory from my time there. Thankfully, I slept through most of it, including most of the MRI. The staff were very nice and I felt safe. I had a private room with a nice view, and people around to help me. I needed help doing most things.

Frustratingly, my glasses disappeared and still have not returned. Today (Saturday), Jesse and her guy took me to get an emergency pair of glasses.

While I was away, one of these friends came and got the dogs and placed them in a greyhound foster home, where they will be for a few more days. I had a visit from my friend Hollis, and a phone call from our other friend Debbie. Sam brought me candy and a donut.

I must have bit the heck out of my lower lip and tongue, and hit the back of my head. I've ordered popsicles to help with my mouth pain.

More later.

*HUGS*

I am glad you had good care in the hospital and friends to help and I feel this is a completely superfluous development.

[bibliofile]

Yikes. Also, ow.

Yay for people resources, for dogs and glasses and everything else.

-offers tons of hugs- I'm sorry. :( I hope they can figure out WTF is going on soon (though, hopefully, it's just a one-off!) and that it's not anything major. I'm glad you had Jesse and other friends to help out.

[davidgillon]

Oh my god, I'm glad you're okay!

I hope the dogs weren't alone in the car too long.

[boxofdelights]

I'm so glad you and the dogs are safe.

[rydra_wong]

OH HELL. Really glad you're home and safe and I hope they can work out what the fuck is going on medically soon.

[lilysea]

I'm really sorry that you had a seizure

and I hope that it was caused by something easily treatable.


If you had to have a seizure, I'm glad that you had the seizure in a public place, rather than when you were home alone.

[shadesofbrixton]

So, so glad you have helpers right now. Sending you all the wishes for a speedy recovery.

[coffeeandink]

My best wishes for a continued and thorough recovery! Glad many people were helpful!

[ndrosen]

Wishing you a full recovery! And, as people have said, it’s good that you have friends, and that your canine pals are being taken care of.

[luinied]

I'm really glad you're okay; that sounds like a lot!

[susanreads]

I just got back from a weekend away and saw this. Yikes, that's scary! I hope they figure out what happened and fix it.

[satsuma]

I'm glad you're okay! That all sounds incredibly scary

I hope the rest of your recovery goes smoothly, and you don't have to deal with anymore mystery seizures

[starshipfox]

Really sorry this happened! I hope it's not something you ever have to deal with again.

[applenym]

I'm glad you're okay! That sounds like a very frightening experience. Also glad to hear you received good care in the hospital--that makes such a difference.
