Little Giggles

Nothing major has happened since the Grand Mal at school. But there have been a few amusing things.

I had one that was just my shoulder. The whole time it was happening, I kept thinking how funny it would have been if it had been in public. Anyone looking at me would have thought I was trying very poorly to flirt with them. Try it in a mirror, you'll see what I mean.

I also had a seizure while taking an Epsom salts bath. I like to think that the result was pretty close to what a jetted tub would feel like. So I felt a little bit rich.

Well, it was Bound to Happen…

On Friday, I had a Grand Mal seizure at school for the first time. I spend enough hours there, the odds were ever in favor of it occurring. I had a loose plan of action set up, and it was carried out well. I managed to get out of the classroom, get my class covered, and get to a room that didn’t have any students in it. Lucky for me, one of my best friends was on his planning period, so he was able to help guide me out of it. Unfortunately, I did a good amount of bouncing on the floor, which is not very well padded. I definitely ended up with some bruised ribs.

The school nurse ended up covering my class. She didn’t quite understand why she was doing that and the teacher was helping me but I think I was able to explain it to her. And she took it all in stride. And my friend had seen my seizures before, but never one that big or all-consuming. Because I never lose the ability to communicate during them, I was able to talk him through everything. And he did a wonderful job.

I’m really kind of lucky, you know?

Weird/Funny

 OK, so my right leg has been getting longer for the last hour. Just the right one. I sat down for a while, and when I got up, I couldn’t figure out how to walk without turning… I can look at my legs and see that they are the same length, but when I’m not looking, the right one is about 5 inches longer than the left now. I can barely walk from the movie room to the kitchen without hitting the wall several times. Not even going to attempt to get a beverage…
