another seizure for Dan ( public) and a ER trip for me… who can top it !! ?? hopefully no one..
Dan had a seizure last night playing cards - that is his only recreation , and now it has the potential of being ruined - he was pretty embarrassed .. And he was sitting on a high stool ( a big job to get him into that) but as always i was right next to him when it happened - so i caught him before he would fall… how in tune we become with our loved ones… all i could do is hang on to him tight and hold him in the chair - no easy feat for 5 min.- he went about 45 seconds no breathing during the seizure to about 4 mins of seizing and breathing… but still no control - over the "other " areas…. he then came out just as i was gonna make a 911 call, then we had about 15 mins of coherentness-- so he played out his cards - sounds weird , but for those well versed in seizures you know what i mean,,, so we let him finish ( i think he wanted to show them no weakness- card players lol) -- then i finally got him talked into quiting and going home. knowing the post-stiktal phase was coming … what a hard walk into the house… his legs just drug…. got him to bed , meds done.. - AHHHHH time for a rest except i had chest pains - i apparently - adrenalined myself into some sort of rapid heart beats -- and then the chest and back pain began…. pressure kinda… but , went and got checked out - no real issues just burned up some muscles with the adrenaline rush…. finally got home - and to bed… ahhhhhh, dan woke up at about 8:30 isn and looked at me and said - seizure huh.. i said yep - you just rest - he said - so tired and fell asleep immediately … geez the stroke just keeps taking - now his only recreation has a "taint" to it… lovely , just lovely ….
