@santosha. Good morning, Chris! Thanks for your shout-out and encouragement to repost my comment here.

“ Thanks to this group for all of your honest comments and free exchange of info, ideas, compassion, and encouragement. You've helped me a bunch since the sudden onset of seizures for me last September. You help me have appropriate perspective in celebrating six-months seizure free this weekend. That means I can legally drive in my state, even though I'm overseas at the present time. Medications have helped build my confidence and reassure my family that I'm more stable. Life is risky no matter what or where! Hugs and encouragement to all! 🙂”

Honestly, I had edited out some sidebars and settled on the important part of acknowledging the grace of sharing the good in this community.

As I was writing, I flashed on the scary testimonies, the real fears, the strident comebacks to discrimination, how clearly people communicated the legit difficulties of just living. The truth is > Support groups work!

Enjoy the day ahead as you can! 💝
