SEIZURE
(Epilogue. Sort of)


Well, my doc came in and talked with me before I was discharged from the hospital yesterday.
He said there are "spikes in the left temporal lobe" which are not technically seizures, but can become one if provoked. Though apparently not super likely.  I should stay on the medication to control and prevent this possibility. Sleep deprivation is a major trigger. I will have a sleep study done over night some night with a sleep specialist, as it seems prudent to do something about my insomnia.
I said "do i have epilepsy?"
and he said "well, yes, but blahdy blah blah....."
Yes, but?
Anyway, I was on the medication already for depression, no biggy there.
He says after some time I may be able to go back down in dose. Though we also discussed that the only side affect that i had been having - blurred vision - may not be a side affect of the med at all and perhaps I should go back to my eye doctor.
So I am home.
Getting model airplane glue out of your hair and off your scalp is a huge pain in the ass.
I feel like a was gone a million years and not just a long weekend.
Atleast it is behind me now.
I guess.....
Still going for a follow appointmant in october.
