A bridge~A car~And laundry detergent....Oh My!

Good morning! I hope that everyone had a wonderful day yesterday! :o)

Well let me tell you how my day went yesterday........... After posting an entry and reading everyone's journals, I got the mail and got dressed to go cash my check. I did nor felt any different then I have been. I got in my car and my daughter had told me that the new bridge is open! Finally! (the city had taken down an old bridge and made a new one) So...I went to a grocerie store to cash my check and get laundry detergent. Things seemd fine...except I was shaky...again, thats nothing new to me. I just start shaking! Not being able to hold things in my hands and such. I still felt fine and I wanted to go see the new bridge. I went over the new bridge and as I was...I started shaking pretty bad and was having problems seeing and driving a bit.

Again....I'm used to those happening to me. But I thought maybe my sugar was low because I hadn't eaten yet. So I continue driving...went through the mall's parking lot and went to Wendy's drive through. I ate some fries and nothing was working! I pulled out of the parking lot and knew I needed to get home fast! People that live here in town will now the distance between Wendy's and Home Depot. I made it as far as Home Depot and was going to pull in and rest, and call home....my daughter and son were here....

Well, I thought that I'd try to get closer to home before I'd call. Not very smart at all on my part! I was really getting pretty scared! I was shaking so bad by the time I got to the intersection of the bank and George's Dairy Barn...I had a hard time with the car because my legs and arms were pretty bad....again, not too smart to do. I went ahead and made it home. I pulled in the drive way and I called the house. My daughter answered and I asked if she could come out to help me...by then, I was even having problems talking. She thought that I ment for her to help carry something in the house for me. Not the case this time. After she got to the car, she noticed that I was not in a good way....she got my son and his friend. My son got me out of the car and his friend and my daughter gotmy wheel chair to get me in the house.

What I remember is hearing them talking and the next thing I knew, I was in my bed. My daughter had taken my blood sugar and it was fine. My body was getting ready to have a seizure. After I had it and went through it all, I felt bad that they had to do all that they did...I should have just pulled into the parking lot like I was going to, instead of risking others and my life. Afterwards, I was very weak and still a bit shaky.

My back/spine was and is in so much pain! I have so many more muscle cramps and of course I feel kind of weird in the "head area." I haven't had a seizure in about 6 months. I'm just so used to having an "aura" before one hits me, plus I've put my seizure disorder on the "back burner," since I'm having more problems with my other illnesess. Well, it didn't let me forget yesterday! Whew! I sat in bed for awhile to get ahold of myself. To my surprise...while I was gone, my son and daughter were surprising with rearranging the living room and washing the windows and really cleaning! WOW! :o)

I had ordered a futon/sofa, and it came yesterday! My son and his friend put it together. :o) It was such a great surprise! :o) Since I'm not able to do the things that I want to do to this house...I have to look at a messy house, but my kids did a bang up job! :o) I love it! :o) So....I'm so very proud of my kids! :o) They grew up with seeing me have seizures, so they already know what to do to help me. :o)

Sooo, I had a great day, just add in a seizure! :o) I'm so very grateful that they were both home! :o) Today, I'm pretty weak and my body is still recovering, it usually takes about 3 days to get/feel back to "normal." My normal! lol :o) So today, I'm just going to take it easy and rest. :o) Thank all of you for your comments! They do help me through my days! :o) God bless all of you! :o)
