Hi Everyone,
I've just finished the first draft of a card I'm creating to carry with me when I'm out alone and starting to have a focal seizure. I'd love your thoughts on whether it's clear, reassuring, and easy to follow.
Here's what I have so far:
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Hello, I'm Chris
What's happening:
I'm having a simple focal seizure (non-convulsive), which lasts a few minutes. I can't speak right now, but I'll return to normal soon. There's no danger, I just need someone by my side.
How you can help me:
- Call: Marc 11-99161xx or My Building's Front Desk 11-5052 xx and tell them where I am so they can come get me.
- Stay with me until I recover or someone arrives.
I rarely have convulsions, but if it happens:
- Turn me on my side, support my head with something soft, and let the seizure run its course
- DO NOT restrain my body movements
- DO NOT put anything in my mouth
On my left arm, I'm wearing a bracelet with all my information.
From my heart, thank you so much for being here with me in this moment!

I'm planning to print this on business-card size to keep it in my pocket and also attach it to the back of my mobile.
Thank you so much💜!
Chris
