cathyr Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Well, another week gone. Two of the kids came in and it was wonderful to see them. Im finding it more and more difficult to get rest and some oxygen, but I'm just going to have to do it. I'm just afraid of disappointing my kids, friends and family when they want to visit. Last Sunday I think I had a seizure. Incoherent thoughts, coordination very bad, and my eyes were fluttering. It scared the family. Dr. doesn't want me to drive anymore. But, boy I sure have so much love in my life, in my friends, and in you all. My pain in very much in control. I just keep buying more and more wigs. I still look like an oragatan, but that's the least of it. Just wanted to say good-night my friends. I love you all very much!!!! \Hugs, CathyR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cindi o'h Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi Cathy. Thanks for taking the time to check in and report. Glad your kids were there. This is what you say when you need to.."gosh, I think I better lie down for just a bit..party on as if I were here..." Then go take your needed snooze and you will feel up to going back to them all rested. Sorry about the driving thing. Is there someone close by who can take care of your transportation needs? Always great to hear from you, Cathyr. love, cindi o'h Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ry Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Hi Cathy~ I am glad to see you posting and updating us . About your possible seizure...John has had these spells that look a lot like a seizure but they aren't. Now I have seen a lot of seizures and I was sure he had one the first time I saw it happen. Actually he is passing out from a lack of oxygen when he coughs and it certainly resembles a seizure. The doctor says it is normal during those hard coughing spells and has not restrcted his driving. Now...the one way I think you can tell a seizure from a "spell" is how you feel afterwards. Everyone I have seen have a seizure is absolutely whipped afterwards and goes to sleep to recover. My point here being to hopefully make you feel a little better... I think of you often. Rochelle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
