I can't remember what had happened a few days before the seizers. After my second one, it took my parents and a few of my friends a really long time to get me to remember pieces. After they began to talk to one of the nurses in the ER about the night before, I slowly remembered parts(more like flashs, kind of like a still moment) of what they were talking about. Between everyone, we were able to piece together basically what had happened the day/night before and help the nurse as well as the doctor figure out why I had a seizer.

I don't ever think I will feel like myself ever again.Too many meds, a year or more of memory, loss my family does not know me anymore.I now live life the best way I can.Sometimes taking a walk brings me comfort,I recognize the neighborhood and childhood memories.Who knows what happened during my lapse I can't.
