PURPLE DAY

-

  Today is purple day 💜 the day recognized by all my fellow epilepsy warrior's and people who support them. It wa a day founded by a fellow Canadian Cassidy Megan in 2008. Something so awesome gor somebody who wasn't even 10 years old at the time. I have celebrated every purple day since it started.

 I have met so many amazing friends who support purple day and advocate for epilepsy all year. It's awesome to be part of such a great community, especially when you need that extra shoulder. It's also awesome when you can be the shoulder or the one who helps a person new to epilepsy understand things. Many people have told me my blogs hsve helped them understand. That is an awesome feeling fir sure.

 So glad I have my purple bracelet and hoodie to sport today. Rocking my epilepsy wear on thos special day always makes me feel good. Happy purple day everyone

UNIQUE CONVERSATION

-
  Last month I had posted an entry about my average numbers of seizures in a day. Or at least what I thought were my average number that I was having. One of my epi friends and warrior Tiffany Kairos posted something to her story about the type of seizures she has and the number of them.   I sat back for a bit and thought to myself I knew my mom or dad or both were seeing a fair number that I was having. Like I knew that I would have between 2 or 3 a day average sometimes I thought 4 maximum of 5. I thought to myself the 5 would be my top out day so to speak. That was a relief in many ways.  Well I got a bit of a turn around where I showed mom the video that Tiffany did. My mom first said she felt bad but knew I understood the feeling. I asked her how she figured? Mom told me yes you know about 2 or 3 a day on average like your aware. Then often there are 5 more I might tell you about.  So more of a 6 to  in a bad day. She said with everything going on you ...

NEW BODY UPS AND DOWNS

-
 Today I found that I had both body freeze  and words disappeare from me. I was on the phone with one of my best friend's, she was talking to me through the whole conversation. Through much of the conversation I was freezing up for a good 5 10 seconds looking for the proper words. It has happened once before but it is or for me is a scary thing.  I almost felt like someone had taped my mouth shut, or cut my vocal cords. I knew what needed to come out but nothing was there to come out.   It was a very sureal feeling for sure, some have asked if it was like an out of body experience. In a way I would say that it was but I couldn't do anything in my "natural body" or on the other plain. A very almost enlighment of an experience at the same time a very scary one.   I certainly could feel myself having a mini panic/anxiety attack. It ended after I was no longer frozen that's why I use term mini panic and anxiety attack it felt like it lasted longer than tru...

FRIENDS FAMILY SEIZURES

-
 You may be wondering why I am adding seizures to this one. It will become clear in a bit. First off I'll start with my friends, I have always had very amazing friends in my life. At the same time I was putting myself in a bubble because I had always been in a catholic school. Outside of that I wasn't sure how to approach everyone the proper way.   Then when it came to my family that was the egg shell area for sure. Especially when I had to look at my side with the Christian side. It was very tense, of course I had certain friends and family i wanted to tell ages ago that's where the next part enters.  The epilepsy and seizures of everything. I never wanted too or purposely try and keep it a secret. So it was in back of mind I knew it was there and would have my seizures increase. So now my seizures have calmed more than they were over past years.
