Just when things were getting better

I had to go to the hospital on Sunday. I just got out yesterday and am still recovering. I had a bleeding hemorrhoid that protruded and lost a lot of blood. My blood pressure had goin down to 80 something over 40 something. I plan to go back to school on Monday. The cause of all of this is my seizure medication. The Keppra I take causes constipation, hence the hemorrhoid. I plan to see my neurologist this summer about weaning me off the keppra or switching medications since I have not had a seizure in almost 5 years. Before that happend, everything was okay. I have been working hard in all of my classes and still found time to have fun when my boyfriend and I went to a stepshow. The botox really loosened my wrist up so therapy was not as painful. I just wish my wrist would straighten out on its own I have no movement in it and I hate feeling like OT is a waste of time. I wish I could just wake up one day and have control over my arm wrist and fingers. Anyone ever heard of a story like that? Well I have to catch up on some work that I have missed this week then get some rest. I hope this entry was not as depressing. (I cant really complain about school because I havent been there in a week)

Katrina,

 

You poor dear. I hope you are on the road to recovery now and no more future incidents with the Keppra. Perhaps the doc can try to wean you off of it by reducing your dosage to ensure you remain seizure free.

 

I'm glad that wrist therapy was less painful after the botox. It appears all is good with your boyfriend as well :big_grin:

 

Be sure to rest this weekend so you're ready for school on Monday.

 

Take care dear girl and gentle (((hugs))) coming your way.
