Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!!, originally uploaded by javagirl24.
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday, free from commercialism and focused on family and giving thanks for the many blessings in our lives.
We picked Amanda up at PLU yesterday afternoon and stopped at Tacoma Boys to pick up a [...]

Livestrong Challenge Seattle
Posted in Cancer, Epilepsy, Seizures on June 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
On Sunday, June 21st, I participated in the Livestrong Challengen Seattle 5K walk. I had originally signed up to participate in the 10 mile bike ride but, having been recently diagnosed with epilepsy, that didn’t seem like a good idea. If I can’t drive a car, I probably shouldn’t be on a bike. This was [...]
Today at the Neurologist
Posted in Seizures on April 16, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I saw a hummingbird today! Beating his little wings to keep warm, no doubt. The sun is out but it’s still quite cold.
I saw my neurologist today, too. All of my tests looked great. My blood work was perfect – my cholesterol was a little high but lower than it’s been [...]
Santorini…Again
Posted in Diagnosis, Seizures on March 13, 2009 | 7 Comments »
If you’re a regular visitor to my blog, you know that Santorini is one of my favorite “mental travel” destinations. Well….I just got off the phone with my mom who happens to be traveling to Santorini in May….without me, of course. Someday I’ll get to go but, for [...]
Longing For Spring
Posted in 1, Seizures on March 12, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Will spring ever come? We had three inches of snow on Monday and while the last three days have been beautiful and sunny, they’ve been awfully cold, too! I’m anxious to see things blooming.
I’ve been studying all day for my appointment for the neurologist…..because that’s what I do. I have an impressive [...]
The Big Picture
Posted in Life Goes On, Seizures, Wellness on March 5, 2009 | 10 Comments »
The last thing that I need is another prescription drug….and yet, that’s my neurologist’s recommendation, his response to the seizure that I had last week. He ordered an MRI, which I had on Tuesday, but his approach was not “let’s find out why this happened”, it was “let’s seriously consider anti-epileptic drugs, Lamictal and [...]
Seizure – One Week Later
Posted in Seizures on March 2, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Today I’m making a mental trip to Thailand. It’s a bit less foggy there than it is in my head. I’m tired and I’m sore. The red marks on my face are nearly gone but I’m still sore on my left side. It’s odd that I don’t have bruises – I [...]
My Face
Posted in Seizures on February 26, 2009 | 12 Comments »
I don’t know what happened when I had my seizure, but this is what I look like afterward. My lower lip is swollen, my left eye is completely red and I have a cut on my nose. I’m not in pain but there are numerous sore spots, primarily on the left side of my body, [...]
Seizures
Posted in Seizures on February 25, 2009 | 5 Comments »
I met with my neurologist today. I first met him four years ago after I had my first seizure. I had been on vacation in Las Vegas and whether it was the dry climate, a combination of caffeine and alcohol, the flashing lights or a change in hormone levels….we don’t know, but I [...]
