Follow-up: Street Prophets Thursday Coffee Hour

Welcome to Thursday Coffee Hour. This is an open topic thread so help yourself to the goodies and sit a spell and let us know what is new with you.

I am still dealing with the seizure from Saturday. Most of the mental confusion is gone and I can remember everything in my life except the seizure and what went on just prior to coming to in the ambulance. Physically I still need the number of the MACK truck that ran me over. My lip is still swollen and it is hard to talk. The right outer thigh is a massive bruise. The left arm looks horrendous. My muscles hurt like the devil. I am exhausted.

I know I'm on the mend because Pixie is finally sleeping in my room with me. The hardest part is the depression though. I've always been so strong and as a caregiver for the last 12 years I am NOT the one who is supposed to get sick. I just feel so down.

The ER didn't do that good of a job and all I have back are positive results from the head CAT scan. I am taking their anti-seizure medicine so I should be okay. As far as I can tell from my research this may have been an end result of 1) the tale end of pneumonia weakening my body 2) bad food at Sonic over lunch 3) sleep deprivation since I have a horrible time getting and staying asleep and 4) stress. Gee where did that come from?

So this is my arm.

just hope that you heal quickly and that any pain is minimal. I can relate to mental confusion as its been a part of my life on and off for over a decade now and I really hope that that part is passed.

Good luck and here's wishing you a speedy recovery.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with this on top of everything else.

STRESS is a killer. People don't appreciate how hard it is on our bodies - although what can you do when you can't escape the stress? I guess you could try to find 15 mins a day to meditate, if you don't, as it has far-reaching health benefits if you keep it up even a few minutes daily (says one who rarely follows through on that).

I hope the meds work and you will have final results that give you an idea what went wrong. It's not good to not know what caused the seizure, so I hope good news in the future to know what was going wrong. Til then have a hug and a
Air kiss
