I don't even know where to start, Friday morning one minute I'm at my desk the next I was on the floor...I had a seizure at work. My coworkers removed me from my chair, laid me on the floor, on my side , called 911 and watched helplessly as I went into full convulsions and began to foam at the mouth. at the hospital they ruled out a brain tumor with a X-ray and CATscan but want me to follow up with a neurologist for a MRI. I've never had a seizure before in my life and honestly I'm grateful there were so many caring people around me Friday to protect me. My memory is affected a little because I seem to have trouble remembering some things and I get tired quickly. Honestly it scared the crap out me, clearly my body is telling me something, but what? I now have to take antisezure medicine and can't train until after I get medical clearance.

All I know is, I have a new appreciation for life and everyone I'm blessed to have in mine. Today I'm going to try and get an appointment with a neurologist, I want to know why this happened to me and know if I have to worry about it happening again. I'm really concerned. I talked to one of my coworkers who witnessed the seizure and to my boss, both of their accounts were very scary. I did some reading online and that scares me even more. I hope the neurologist can find the cause. I am hypoglycemic and although that can cause seizures when your blood sugar gets too low but there are usually warning signs when my sugar is low and I didn't have them...all I remember was the start of a headache and then I was on the floor looking at my chair, trying desperately to get into my chair becaue I knew that's where I was supposed to be. I fought them about going into the ambulance, not conciously, just because all I knew was I was supposed to be working and that's what I was trying to do...go back to work. It took a little coaxing but once I started to regain my senses I knew I had to go to the hospital.

My poor husband was supposed to go to The Who concert Friday night and didn't because of me. I know, he said he would rather stay home with me but I still feel bad. This whole episode has made me more appreciative for everyone and everything in my life. It made me realize that I have to go after my dreams and nothing is more important than family.

So hug your family and friends and tell them how important they are to your life.
