well darn, i spent most of friday night at the emergency room. seems
yesterday about 3:30 or so i had a complex partial seizure and went out
to my mailbox BAREFOOTED on the hot asphalt/pavement!! 100 degree
weather here and it felt like i was walking on hot coals. i was in my
seizure so have very little memory of any of it. i did fall while i was
trying to walk back up my wheelchair ramp with my walker into this empty
planter type thingy. no one was around so all i could do was scream my
lungs out help! help! help! finally a passing car stopped and the people
helped me up and into my house. my ankle was all scraped up from the
fall and the soles of my feet & toes were on fire!! went to urgent care
and waited for like 3 hours - still didn't get waited on. i pitched a
royal fit (don't know if it was a seizure or not) they were gonna call
the sheriffs but instead i ended up going to another hospital. long
story short, i have 3rd degree burns on the soles of my feet, a possible
fracture in my right foot and some blood blisters on my toes. plus i
didn't get home till waaayy after 12:30am!! i was pissed!!!!
i always wanted to know if 3rd or 1st degree burns were the worst,
however i didn't exactly want to experience them. 3rd degree are the
worst. sheesh- what a day!! it never ends!! so now both feet are al
bandaged up and hurt like heck.

this incident did spur me on to do some things though i've been putting
off for some time: i ordered a medic alert bracelet yesterday that says
i have epilepsy and i am almost sure to get this service called Life
Alert where there's a console in your house and you wear a pendant
around your neck at all times, so if you fall or whatever, all you need
to do is press the pendant for help. i'm definitely getting that. i've
had just tooo many accients and i ain't gettin' any younger!
