So, Saturday we had family pictures taken. They turned out pretty well. You can see them by clicking the Gallery link over on the right. Here’s a preview. 😉
Sometimes, five minutes can rock you to the core. Yesterday, I had an appointment with my neurologist/epileptologist about all of the problems I’ve been having with my head. I’ve got permanent post-concussive disorder, which causes random periods of dizziness, disorientation, “buzzing”, and other feelings that aren’t pleasant. I also get (when not on medicine) complex partial seizures. As far as I know, I’ve never had a full-blown tonic clonic / grand mal. At my appointment yesterday, they said they can’t determine what’s seizure related and what’s not, so they can’t treat it. They want to stick me in a hotel for five consecutive days, hooked up to an EEG 24 hours a day to see what happens. It’s extremely expensive ($20,000 and sounds extremely boring. Due to the financial aspect, we were looking at maybe doing it a few years from now, even though things have been getting pretty bad lately. Then again, sometimes, five minutes can rock you to the core. About a half an hour ago, a girl standing not 9 feet from me seized out. Full-on drop grand mal. Lasted a good five minutes. They just took her out to an ambulance about five minutes ago. Right now, I’m seriously freaked out. Is that what’s coming if I don’t get this taken care of? I can’t stop shaking (my hands/etc from the nerves, not an attack). I’ll be scheduling the monitoring appointment. And quickly.
There. There’s your update.
God help me.
Sorry for no updates, dearest people who don’t read this. One is coming tonight. In the meantime, here is my take on techno music. Yeah, I know it blows the margins, and I DON’T CARE! MWAHAHAHAHAHA

As a continuance from yesterday, today appears to be a good head-day. A little fuzzy here and there, but I’m here for the most part.
For today’s news, IT’S ON!

The day itself is fine. My head is a train wreck. Some days are good “head days” and others aren’t. Today is definitely a bad head day. I’ve been dizzy and cloudy headed all day. I’ve also felt “buzzy”. Ever stood under high voltage wires and felt the charge in the air? It’s like that, but in my head. I think I may have had a small seizure earlier; however, it lacked the dissociative aspect that helped characterize previous episodes. Who knows? This thing seems to change year to year. Maybe that’s the latest evolution. If so, it’s a welcome change. It’s been a few years since my last identifiable seizure. Every so often, I get weird episodes like earlier today.
The arm twitch is worse than ever this last week. I can’t imagine how it must look to others to see my arm jerking all over the place all day long.
Man, this is a depressing post. I need to see something happy, don’t you?
Maybe I’ll get one of these for the baby…
