It's not a seizure, it's.........

Mon, 05/01/2006 - 04:59
Ever given an excuse for having a seizure, trying to cover one up or release the tension for those around you after one? Here's a few of mine... 1. My brain has the hiccups (Myoclonics - jerking). 2. Of course I was paying attention the first time you said it...I just want to make sure I heard you right (Absence seizures). 3. Whoops! Moved the chair, huh? (Drop seizures). 4. Now that I have your attention....(Not sure what I did but the whole room is bug-eyed). -Spiz

Haha... cool excuses. I should use those too. Mine usually are either i'm day dreaming or i'm just a bit sleepy or opps i lost my balance or tripped over my own feet. Sometimes though, i just distract them away from me and shove the attention to someone else. hah...
