Small seizures
WEll, I am tonsil, adenoid, and uvula free now :head_hurts: but it seems that the trauma of surgery may have induced some small seizure activity which I've had to be hospitalized for - got a lovely ride to the ER, was admitted to ICU and then transferred to the "Stroke Center Hospital" for our area to make sure I hadn't suffered another stroke. Scary but, in the end, nice as they did act fast and had me on an EEG fastas well as all the other lovely monitors. I've added pill #14 to the daily routine now - an anti-convulsant called Lamictal. The seizures are called "absent" or partial seizures that razz you enough to slow you a bit, but are not as bad as grand Mal epileptic seizures. I've also found out that seizures are apparently not that uncommon after a stroke(especially after a traumitizing event such as surgery) - glad they warned me about that LOL oh well
I'm in the subacute wing here at the hospital but should be home on this Sunday - and back to my usual routine - have missed talking to everybody!!!! The hospital computer that I'm on now- in the activity room doesn't have Java and some other nice software installed because it runs oftheir network....so I'm posting for the moment.
:hug: :hug: :hug: to all - hope everyone is well :big_grin:
