Seizures...

I've always wondered what it would be like to actually be the person in that hospital bed and not the person running around it all the time. Well, I got my chance. Two days ago, I wasn't feeling exactly normal all day (I don't know how to better describe that) and Josh and I decided to go to bed early to get some much needed sleep (supposing that was the problem). Well, the next thing I know, I'm waking up in an ambulance. I don't remember anything leading up to that point and Josh says that my eyes were open but I was totally non-responsive. I had had a seizure while we were sleeping. It was beyond scary being in the back of an ambulance with men I didn't know and having no clue how I got there or why I was even there! I kept asking where Josh was and they told me he was following behind the ambulance so that gave me a little peace of mind. After that, my memory is a complete blur of doctors, CT Scan, lab tests, Urinalysis, and anything else they could do to poke and prod me. I was beyond relieved to have Josh right there by my side because I still had no clue why I was there. Later, the doctor came in and told me that the labs showed that I had definately had a seizure and they were putting me on medication to keep it from happening again and some Zofran to keep the nausea at a minimum. This was all such a shock to me. How in the world could I have had a seizure? ME?!!! I'm always the healthy one! We spent the rest of the night in the hospital and I was discharged later the next afternoon. There's still a lot more testing that has to happen before they can officially diagnose me with Epilepsy or not and until then, my driving priviledges have been taken away and I am one sad, dizzy little person. This medication causes the dizziness and it's no fun. So that's the story. I must say that being the nurse is a million times better than being the patient and I will never doubt that again! I just hope and pray that they figure everything out soon so that I can drive again. You don't know how nice it is to have freedom until it's taken away from you.
