I wound up in the Emergency Department tonight.
I just got back home. At about 5:00, I had another seizure. Unlike the last one, where I didn't wake up until I arrived in the ED, this one was pretty brief.

I was sitting on the couch just chilling with my dog and my eyes rolled back in my head. I also sort of fell to my right side, and a little drool came out of my mouth (squicky, I know; sorry!).

My peach of a husband, who at one time told me he would *not* call for the squad if I had another seizure, actually did call 911.

Anyhoo . . . I'm really pooped now. And I feel funny, too. I am absolutely freezing, and my lips feel plumped up. And of course, I'm tired. Had a couple of IVs poked in me.

So with that -- g'night all! A dose of those famous Lounge vibes would be most appreciated. :hi:

Ace

1. Thank goodness for caring spouses/SO's!
:D

I'm glad to hear you got the help you needed when you needed it. I have to do a little quiet-time healing on myself here, so while I'm at that, I'll send some extra your way :hug:

14. *Great* idea. It's easy
to forget about the tub, when the shower is so popular. :D :hi:

11. Peggy! After I got home,
I thought about teleporting you here so you could take care of me, since you are so sweet, and you used to be a nurse. :) Then I decided to just do the things for myself that I know you would do for me!

Did that make any sense?? :hi:

15. It DID make sense, lol!
You probably took better care of yourself than I could have anyway...it's been years since I did any hospital nursing...

But thanks for the really lovely thoughts!

:hug:

8. I'm sorry, man.
I don't have seizures, but I can dislocate my shoulder by scratching my head, so I know all too well the ER Frequent Flyers' Club. **Sending vibes**

9. I'm glad you're home and OK,
but do you know what's causing these episodes? I hope and pray that it's nothing serious. Take care, abq

12. Well, the first one was caused by a "hugh" brain tumor
that was fortunately benign. For this one, no one knows; they did an EKG, checked blood sugar, checked my pee, etc. I'm doing a follow-up with the neurologist. My CT scan looked good, so . . . {sigh} I guess we'll see! :hi:

13. Thanks-and once again, best wishes to you that it's nothing serious
sounds like so far so good.
