All I'm hearing is being blocked back again (in the
Hospital). I arrived there out of sync, so one might
say it was the 'perfect' timing to have an EEG done.
Was still out of sync afterwards, having headache
and deep urge to sleep. They (the staff) were worried
and wanting me to sleep. I wasn't even sure where I
was except I wanted to go home. I plowed into a
saw palmetto (a type of a palm tree), and picked up
my prescription, and even the Pharmacy Tech who knew
me; wanted me to stay put, as she was saying my
speech was so slurred and I was staggering, but I
just wanted to go home. I nearly plowed into several
mailboxes.
(I don't drive anymore - I surrendered it voluntarily)
So confused and in a daze was I until my neighbor drove
by and saw me to tell me to hurry up and get home as
a bad thunderstorm was coming quickly. I nearly got hit
by a car because I forgot to look. Once I arrived home,
I showered and slept until about 8:30 or 9:30 PM! And
was still in a daze, my son could not understand a word
I was saying.
On my Caller ID - the Hospital Called, my PCP called, heck,
everyone called - all while I was asleep! While I did try
to cook, my son took over, and I was back in bed, asleep.
I slept all night, and all day just about.
My son told me I had to have had multiple seizures or at
least a bad one.
While I recuperated from it; I kind of wished I just went to
the ER which was right across the street. I still don't know
I how I got home. I didn't dare leave my house once I did.
My Neuro will be evaluating the whole thing Monday. (I think)
From there - I'm not sure what they're going to do.
But they know I have Epilepsy, Intractable Complex Partials,
Electrographic, Simple Partial, Absence, Tonic Clonic.
So what went on there - I don't have the result or report yet.
