Since a broken toe was not enough, I had to go on and have a full blown seizure on Friday night ending up in the ER. I finally came to in the ambulance but remember vaguely being on the ground in my living room and feeling extreme sadness. That was when the EMS folks were moving me on to a gurney I think.

Now hopefully it may have been a withdrawal seizure form missing meds or potentially metabolically significant concomitant medications for migraines and pain that may have caused it which I had used within the last 24 hours preceding. For now I cannot drive pending a repeat EEG (weird test where they put electrodes to the scalp to study brain waves). My neurologist and I are hoping the EEG looks unchanged which means he will write a letter to the state and I should be able to drive but for now pending the test I get to be a burden on my hubby and friends to drive me around when I cannot get a cab to reliably come out to pick me up.

We leave for India in two weeks and I am slated to work every day ( except Mondays my day off) until then so I can get a paycheck for December.

Yes I missed my meds once. Yes perhaps I deserve what happened. In my defense I will only say that the toe pain had been so bad the day prior that I was a basket case.

But I would appreciate it if you can spare me a thought. or a prayer. or a kind word.

Thank you guys.
