Giggles

In the last few days I have seen a funny side of E, and I have never thought any of it was funny!!! We were driving in my boyfriends car. He asked me to look at the CD player and tell him the artists name of the CD playing (it shows up on the screen) .. as I wasn't feeling crash hot I intently stared at the LCD screen trying to figure out what I was looking at, and said 'Al Bum'. HAHAHAH! It actually said 'Album' as it wasn't displaying the name of the group / artist. Thanks for that giggle left temporal lobe. Today, we were in the car again .. and his car was having some issues .. and again, I wasn't feeling so fab. I was concentrating very carefully on the gears, while he was reversing and I said 'Are you in drive?' .... we both cracked up. Hmmm, yes .. in drive while reversing. Needless to say, each time I was close to or having a simple seziure when these moronic things came out of my mouth. I've never seen a funny side of E, but I now have.

Here are more giggles. My grand mals happen nocturnally. before I remarried, and was a single Mom with my 2 kids, I woke up after a seizure sitting on the edge of my daughter's bed wearing her winnie the pooh sweatshirt. In my sub concious I knew I needed to go to the hospital,and was trying to get dressed! She is grown now and we still laugh about that. Keep that sense of humor. A fine line between comedy and tragedy! Gwen

hi, LOL at all these and thanks for posting . actually I was going to post a new question with the title what is the oddest place or thing that has happened ,or something like that, but did not know how well it would be recieved. I am still new here , and have spent enough time on the net. to under stand that for some reason it attracts or makes a holes and did not want to take a beating for saying something "wrong". I am still just mystified at the types of seizures folks have wow. that blank stare and remembering what happened and just twitching for a few and then moving on is "new"to me I now know I did some of this before also, and just now know what the term aura means and I did that for a long time ,but now I have no warning and a g/m that lasts over 5mins and as long as 15 min.total with no recall . I,ve had them in my sleep ,sitting standing ,walking, ????? all of it.amazing really I,ve been hurt while sitting because I wrapped my arm and leg aroung the chair for 5 min, and i,m real strong and all my strength was applied to gripping the chair and it left me black on that side for weeks. lol not real funny but odd for me. sorry I needed to ramble.. OK funny here goes.....I have had a s.d. for around 13,14 yrs, I worked in a glass ware house and factory for 12 of those yrs.lol all the nice safe thing s I could have done and I work in a glass factory. I lived in an apt. and was getting ready to go out and cash check on fri. and was dressed when I started having what I used to think were "panic attacks" and was in my aura for a long time,was sweating could not speak left side shaking ,this was the last I remember but I wanted to go outside and I started to remove my clothes ,shoes, shirt, then went outside where there were a lot of folks just hanging out because of the weekend , so with my d.w.following I was outside and these people are trying to talk to me I did not talk ,"but" I removed my shorts ,leaving me in my underwear , oops. well they all thought I was on drugs and called the police about that time I had a g/m that was real bad I turn blue and all these folks thought I had died WOW. I woke up in the ambulance with no memory of it all. I will say no one there "ever" looked me in the eye again. geez I was rambling. that church story was funny and the others thanks Rick
