Trying to stay strong
Unfortunately I had a seizure in my sleep Thursday night/Friday morning. When I woke up at 3:30 in the morning I was disoriented and did not know what day it was or where I was. I bit my tongue, bit the corner of my mouth, and I must have had a fight with the wall. (Luckily I sleep against the wall so I didn't fall off the bed.) but some of my finger nails, were bent all of the way back on my good hand, my stroke ankle was sore and my pinky toe on my good foot is sore. Luckily my dad was able to (painfully) cut my nails back for me.
My therapist was already scheduled to come by yesterday morning so that helped. I was frustrated because I'd just met with my job coach from vocational rehab that same day and told them I don't have seizures anymore. On Sunday the girls from church had came over and cooked with me then we watched a movie and Wednesday night, one of the girls took me to church with her. I just dont know what triggered the seizure. I've been taking my medicine every 12 hours. My dad picked me up yesterday and Im staying with him for a few days.
My therapist told me not to look too far ahead so Im trying to block out all those thoughts that make me afraid to go to sleep, make me question if/when I might have another one, and Im really trying to get passed it. I did not go to game night with my new church friend tonight but I did go to church this morning. Im still pretty tired and trying not to stress or put too much pressure on myself so Im just trying to stay calm, not get anxious about starting work and going back to my apartment next week, and just letting the anxiety pass when it creeps up.
