A bit scared about this next week...

Sat, 01/27/2007 - 12:39
On Monday, January 29th, I will be admitted into University of Cincinnati's Epilepsy Unit for 5 to 7 days for a Video EEG. I'm very nervous about this and am a bit nervous. I've had an EEG done before. I've been in the hospital for 6 days before. This time though, I dont know what to think because I have never been to this hospital concious. I was only there for triage when I was burned in an explosion and then wheeled through a tunnel into Shriner's. I was knocked out from the medicine they gave me so I wouldnt feel anything. This is a totally new place, and I dont know if my mom will be able to spend the nights there with me due to her back and for the fact that she needs to take care of my grandmother who is ridden with Alzheimer's and my uncle who is on Oxygen and has many things wrong with his body. I'm 21 and I guess it is time for me to grow up and just say Ill be fine sleeping on my own in this new place. I know I will be safe, I am just not used to not having Mom around if I have a seizure. She and I have had to be attached at the hip since these started and Im used to that now. So what Im asking is.. will someone pray for me and ask God to give me some peace for when I go into the hospital?? I know my family will not come and visit because they know that if there is a chance of my dad showing up there, they will not come. He hurt my brother, Mom and I all of our lives and they will not forgive him for anything at the price of anything. Well I need to stop babbling and go ahead and get ready and clean up the livingroom and kitchen because I have family visiting the house from Florida hopefully tonight. I want to see them so much. I hope everyone is healthy and is in good spirits as they read this. God bless.
