Ok, so for those of you who have been inquiring about my health status, I dont have the energy to send each person a PM, so heres the scoop. Wednesday morning around 3 am I had a grand mal seizure. Kev awoke to me seizing and Im sure calmly called 911 and put me in the recovery position until the ambulance arrived. I was taken to the hospital and every possible test was run. In a nutshell, I was in the hospital until last night. I dont remember anything about the event only know bc Kev has told me what happened and reiterated to the doctors several times over the past couple of days. The good news they can find absolutely no reason for the seizure to have occurred. The have run every blood test possible, CAT scans, MRI, they can find no evidence of why this has happened. They tell me Im in perfect health except some factor in my blood that they say is genetic but I dont even have any problems that such a disorder would typically present. They are baffled. Im not. Of course Im healthy. I dont believe anything other great health is possible :-) The bad news is, I lost my license for three months in case I have another one and put others at risk by driving when it happens. And, as tough as my husband is, he doesnt want me to be alone so I found Alex in bed with me this morning after he left for work. Ah well, I guess I should be happy to know he cares, right? I just hope he doesnt plan on too many meals. Its hard enough when I am gluten intolerant and cant eat a lot foods he likes, but to also have no energy to make anything....I guess salads are easy to throw together...and Kev is never one to complain. Its been a very tiring couple days. One symptom that is lingering is absolute exhaustion. I cant seem to sleep enough to feel rested but hey, my brain just went through a massive electrical jolt that kept my whole body in total muscle flexion for two minutes full on so it stands to reason my body would be tired, right? Me, I feel like it was a reset. I had made some big decisions in the past couple of weeks health wise, with business, and life in general, so perhaps this was my brains/bodys way of saying alrighty then, lets make a whole new start then FAST! Well, perhaps thats just the way I need to frame it, but either way, it seems to be working for me. I feel different than I was before. I cant explain it just yet, but theres something about going through a traumatic health event like that that changes you. I think Ill be able to explain it better as time goes on, right now, Im too tired to write anymore. Thanks everyone for your well wishes. I will be perfectly fine. Just need to rest now. Big hugs, Ava
