No seizure thankfully. I had another episode like last December. I couldn't walk. I was having trouble crawling without falling over. I was falling over the edge of my chair. Every test came back normal. But my first blood pressure reading was high 187/102 but didn't take long to go down. Go figure.
I wish your recovery was as fast as mine.
Take care of yourself,
Jake

@jakedduck1 Don't you think that a Medic Alert would have been a good thing at that time, Jake? How did you get help? I almost gotcha equalled for blood pressure today, I think. 175/92, pulse 81. What's going on, my nurse wondered? We're quite the pair!
Take care, Jake.

ok, Jake! What's going on with you? This isn't alright my friend. Did you have any warning of something happening? Was it some kind of seizure but not grand mal? Related? ...how did you get help?????? Ok, Lori and I are going to fuss....I'm ckg into a medic alert as I know I need one. They do make a fall detection system as well as just 'help' call or whatever. I've been researching them. I'm not pleased with the prospect of the ongoing cost and need to figure that out, but I definitely know I need this thing for my safety. I have been on the floor and ground several times and crawled to a fence to pull myself up, which I could do that time. After a fall last year inside, I couldn't get up or even crawl to the chair or wall to try to get help. I was in a pickle and needed an alert.

So, how did you get help? How long in hospital? Mini stroke? TIA? What did the doctor say? I'm running through all the things I think might have those symptoms. So, please share with us .You are a wonderful person and I am blessed to know you. You are one of very few who truly knows what life with seizures is like and you know far better than I how tough it is.

Be safe. Know you are loved. Blessings and peace to you, my friend. elizabeth (Lizzy)
