Belinda,
I had a seizure on the McDonald's parking lot one time. I ended up with one arm in a arm-hand combo brace and the other elbow in an ace bandage. My left leg, right above the outside ankle, received 8 stitches and the right knee was stitched and bandaged due to a plug taken out down to the bone. My chin and cheekbone didn't look to hot either. My daughter-in-law gets me home...my husband freaks out. My son walks in and glances at me. "Cut yourself shaving?" and cracks up laughing. Then walks over and hugs me. I've raised him with humor...morbid or not...to take away the fear. I have to air-mail him to Dayna every so often though. Uh, Dayna, it is your week to have him, isn't it?
I've been lucky with my neuro but can't say the same for my neuro-psych. He has the personality of a wet dish rag!!! Smiles!

Spiz,I've just stopped having alot of seizures.Yes I did get stitches when I fell in my kitchen twice.I am married to a wonderful man who has never freaked with any of my seizures.Dennis worries about me but he know I'll stay homewhen my seizures start acting up.He's a gem.I told my neuro off yesterday.I'd made an appointment to see him because of the way he had talked to me on the phone.My neuro got a real peace of my mind.
