Seizure!

on monday I was driving home from medford and had a seizure. It was a Grand Mal and I stopped breathing and wet myself and everything. Annique kicked the back of my seat and I started breathing again, but that took my foot off the brake and we slowly rolled into the ditch.

I've never had a seizure before (that I know of, or remember) although I used to pass out as a kid alot (low blood pressure). I went in on Wednesday to PMG (Providence Medical Group) and saw the doctor, who sent me for blood tests and a CAT scan. I got the results back in the mail today. I'm completely within normal levels on both. This kinda freaks me out. On one hand its nice to know I don't have a brain tumor or kidney disease, and my thyroid is doing good. On the other hand I still have no idea what caused the seizure and I could have another anytime. On wednesday I felt the same lightheaded closing black tunnel feeling that was the beginning of my seizure on monday, so its not just some random fluke thing (I don't think). I guess the CAT scan and blood work also tell us I don't have meningitis. I have a "sleep deprived EEG" test this coming monday, and will see a neurologist on tuesday. I may have to take medication, and I've been told I'm not to drive until further notice. The clean CAT scan and blood work screw this for me, cause it's probably not some easy fix thing, they'll have to give me medication (Carbamazapine, or something) that I'll have to take for at least a year and have no seizures if I want to drive again. That last sentence is conjecture, i really have no idea how long I can't drive.

In other news, I've gotten yet another keyboard, this one due to a beer spill. This keyboard is pretty nice. 14.98 for a logitech access keyboard, alot like the M$ keyboard I have at work. The one thing I respect M$ for is that they make really kick ass peripherals like keyboards and mice.

Hey, check out KoL. I'm Fookin Aye, a Hardcore Ascensioninst, currently I'm an 8th lvl Seal Clubber. I'm planning to get Pastamancer next so I can make chowmeins and such.

Anyway, work to do, kids to put to bed, etc, etc, etc, etc....

I have been very busy on a project at work, for the last 2.5 months and have let many many things slide as a result. I'm now very busy getting caught up on all the things I let slide. I hate that. Letting things slide hurts relationships for one thing. I keep seeing these dead squirrels on the road. I've noticed that the direction of travel and type of animal has changed over the seasons. kind of interesting, using road kill to learn about the migration patterns of the animals that live in the area. Too busy, in fact to sit around here, writing this post. Gotta finish cleaning up my personal space. too much crap, too little space. I'd really like to build a shelf for all this stuff, but I have no materials. Anyway, this time I'm really gonna stop typing. Really. oh, wait, check out the very cool game, The Kingdom of Loathing. You can look me up I'm Reverend Trance and Fookin Aye.
