Thu, 19 Nov 2009 20:34:45 +0000 http://davis85.wordpress.com/2009/11/19/this-blog-and-the-next/#comment-1864 Have you ever thought of training one of your Beagle pups to be a medical watch dog? I saw a movie last night in which a man had Epilepsy and he had a medical trained dog who allerted him when he was going to have a seizure. I know this is not fiction, Beagles have a good sense of smell so it might be something to look into. Hope all is well with you and your new medication will be a good solution. Take care, looking foward to your new blog. Have you ever thought of training one of your Beagle pups to be a medical watch dog?

Anyway, I chew on crystalized ginger because of chronic nausea which you probably already heard about. It is funny what sets us off but it was the last straw for you!

There are 2 brands that are very good and carried both by Uwajimaya in Renton and at the Great Wall Mall on East Valley (not always there). Carrie –

What I am writing you about is that I have epilepsy also, and have had it since I was 18, I'm now 59. Like you, it was idiopathic, no known reason. So, in college I started that walk. Yes, you have to say goodbye to alcohol, even high dose caffeine sometimes, but the only times I had troulbe was when I steopped my medicine or had my daughter. The reason why the seizure at the second occurance was lack of sleep, poor nutrition (my daughter breast fed like a beast) and stress. Typical new parent stuff. So, decades later, those are the things I watch for now. Chris Hi Carrie;

I ran across you when I was looking for a beagle but at the time you did not have any for sale and was putting it on hold for the time being. You would cross my mind often and I would jump onto your blog that I had marked as one of my favorites and see how you were doing. Some days I cried for you and other days I smiled and was thankful that you were doing better. I always enjoyed your fantastic ability to put your thoughts and feelings into words. The pictures you post are out of this world and I have tried many a recipe that you have suggested. I also agree with the rest of the post...write a book and I will be there to buy one. I will miss not being able to pop in and check on you but understand your ending this part of the journey. I wish you all the best and I will continue to pray and think of you often! God Bless!
