I usually talk, babble, actually, when in seizure.  Not talking seems
reasonable, but for four hours?  How do you define "unconscious?"

There are so many different kinds of seizures.  I have heard of people
not being able to speek.

I haven't personally had that problem.  My seizures have been better
since I went on Keppra and got off phenobarbital.

BTW like your username.  Rev21:4 is one of my fav scriptures.

*** Temporal Lobe Seizures describe the area of the brain where the
seizures start (the seizure focus), and is an older term that was
replaced by Complex Partial Seizures (name) which includes the former
T.Lobe seizures..     It didn't change, the name did.

 When it first happened I thought I was going

**** Usually if you're conscious or aware of what you do during a
seizure, it is included under Simple Partial seizures? as that's the
only one where we're aware what we do while 'we're away'..

 I was taken to the

*****  Those often stand out on an Electro Encephalograph (EEG), or
Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) since they have a distinctive
'signature' that's different from other seizure types.  /

**** Did you have Disability Insurance thru your employer or on your
own?   Many Employers (from postings here over last 10 years), may**
not tell the employee they're eligible for long term income subsidies
where they are.   Insurance companies (I found) are the worst for
trying to move 'away'  from someone who's paid premiums for 8, 10, 20
years if it means they might actually avoid PAYING something back...
   I have *1 company who helped me, insurance I had thru my
employment.
 The Private insurance I had paid for over 12 years, *most of it
(60%) disappeared into a well and the Government Insurance **Licencing
office had to help them find where they had 'lost it'.  I just mailed
the  **26th**  "Continuance of ongoing Disability" form to them
yesterday.    Since *1980, they've sent those forms once or *twice a
year to be completed by ME or my Doctor, to keep the Policy in force
that they say they'll pay out, after I die (that's how I got to the
*26th time above).
 I've been Tempted once or twice to write "Deceased" in large Red
Felt Pen across the Form and Mail it back, but thought that might mess
up the coverage I already have, just to get one of their Agents out of
his  "Dilbert Seat" to make a Phone Call.....  //

  *Group Insurance, thru an Employer, Club or Group is easier to
qualify for, or buy, but usually there's a period (12-18 months)
before you can then apply for waiver of premiums or other coverage?
And many ask up front "if you have been treated for heart, stroke,
seizures, illness 1, illness 2 or any other things that might affect
insurability..."
   That's why it would be best to be able to reactivate insurance
that you had before the onset period.  /

 I'm much better know,

My wife had Complex Partial Seizures, and after a while, some of her worse
'Petit Mals' (I can obviously only use her descriptions) often left he
thinking that she was going to go into a Grand Mal, but stopped just short.

After these, she often was left unable to speak. She would talk, and then
look at me in a very questioning way as if to see if I could understand the
gibberish that was coming out of her mouth. She later described this as a
time when she struggled to find words, but that what came out of her mouth
was not what she was intending to say, if that makes any sense.

Anyway , this is second hand, so possibly not much use to you, except to
know that others seem to have had similar symptoms to those you describe.
