Grand Mals

Written after the fact and post dated so I can remember when it all happened...

On Saturday, September 13, 2014 I woke up around 6AM and hustled into dialysis.   I arrived at dialysis and Brandon called me right in.  I got on the machine right around 7AM, the usual time.    Dialysis itself was fairly uneventful.  My foot and right ankle cramped around 11:30 and Gerard gave me some saline.  I stood up on my foot and the cramping eased off.   I remember sitting back down and dozing a bit.   The next thing I remember is the ER.   I woke to find myself in the emergency room.   My former classmate Shirley was there as one of my nurses.   I had an IV in my hand and was told I had a seizure at dialysis.   I recall bits and pieces of the ER.  I woke again to find myself in room 132 of the hospital Saturday afternoon.   I was told I had another seizure in the ER.   I also had a CAT scan at some point on Saturday, though I have no memory of it.   I am told that my mother visited.   I remember nothing of Saturday.    I have a faint memory of coffee ice cream.

2 Grand Mal Seizures out of no where for no known reason.

I was in the hospital until Tuesday.  They found no reason for the seizures and put me on an anti-seizure med called Keppra.   The neurologists found no abnormal activity in the test results  (they looked at my brain,  found nothing (hahaha))  One more thing to add to my growing list of concerns and ailments and yet another thing to raise my anxiety...  yeah me.
