Hello Everyone. I wrote a few years ago regarding my issues and was looking for suggestions and help. I had been a Police Officer for about 16 years and worked for a large department for 10 and then went to a smaller department for my last six. I was really enjoying life and helping the people who had been harmed in the major felony crime unit. A few days before, I spoke to a stabbing victim in the ICU and next thing I remember was a twitching in my neck at home on my way to work and just before leaving, evidently had a seizure in front of my wife and woke up in hospital. I guess I had 2-3 more seizures while enroute in ambulance and then multiple in hospital. 6 day later and a grand mal Dr's decide there not sure what is wrong and transfer me to the trauma hospital (same ICU as above) where they had a MRI and a clot in brain, bleeding, and a mild stroke. 2 months later released and thank God for allowing me to live. Wife and family state big boss and others at hospital tell wife and family don't worry we will take care of me after and all is good.

Received release to work light duty in office for 4,6,8 hr days over weeks and need supervision. Received certified(in mail) letter from department attorney and if I could not return in the weeks I had of leave time to full police duty I would be discharged. I was shocked, was the union president and union attorney could not help. Nothing in contract to provide light duty. I was medically discharged. I remained persistant, got better every day and Dr's were amazed. Nuero Dr takes me off "Dilantin" slowly to show no seizure problem. Soon after, seizure and unconcious in hospital. (9 mo's after Orig). Dr says take Dilantin and weeks later changes drug and slowly off Dilantin. Soon after....another seizure and for 1st time stay awake. (that was worse than going out). Neuro says back on Dilantin and 2.5 years without a seizure. Head boss tells me they are concerned about seizure and no hire back. No witness, No Taped recording. I was just reaching out to anyone in LE or Atty type who has thoughts. To all, it is good to be alive and live well and wish you well.
