Any Home Bakers Here?

I think I had a seizure. It doesn’t make any sense, because I have not been diagnosed with epilepsy.

Jared, seizures can be totally unrelated to epilepsy.

In 2011, my husband had a grand mal seizure while in bed, about 4am. Freaked. Me. Out. I called 911, he went to the ER, the whole bit.

We went to the doctor, and he said to monitor how he felt, but if it happened again, he'd need to see a neurologist. It happened again 3 months later.

The resulting MRI showed nothing abnormal. Nothing. But since then, he has been on an anti-seizure med. And nothing has happened since. No seizures at all.

I think he had had a couple petit mal seizures -- while driving!!! -- before the first grand mal. He'd probably had others, but I didn't notice. He said sometimes, his brain "felt weird" and that's the only way he could describe it.

Yes, seizures can indicate serious problems. But not always. Take heart, my friend. You are in my thoughts. Sending hugs.

How disconcerting! I hope you'll get some answers tomorrow. Not knowing is very hard. Praying for you.

Be well Kid we are counting on you!

Thank you all for the help and the encouragement, I really appreciate it.

I did not have an episode last night, as far as I know. I think I’m gonna take it easy today regardless, just in case.

I got a new game in the mail, maybe that will occupy me enough.

OK, so it’s not new. In fact, it was made in the 80s. There is just something about these old games that appeals to me.

Thumbs up if you know what it is.
