I had a fantasy of driving with a driving instructor

And I dropped this splendid idea.

lefthandLately, I’ve sat behind the wheel of our car. My brother encouraged me and, I guess, he’s been regretting this move till today.

I was supposed to drive about 20 meters and park. Nothing complicated?

You couldn’t be more wrong. I just forgot how to use a car. I forgot about the existence of accelerator. Actually, I think that I KNEW that something was missing, but I didn’t know what.

Anyways. After a while, with the great tutor next to me, I started to drive. And I parked.

Then I had an idea: what about the supplementary training of driving? Not to come back on the roads (epilepsy…), but for fun. It would mean driving with someone, who could stop the car if necessary.

My fear is strong. would brakes save me from such thing?

And remember, that my TIA (ministroke) happened in the car.

I’m scared. So no driving. No driving until I’m sure about being safe from seizures. Let’s wait and see.

Suddenly I’m epileptic. Epilepsy after brain stroke

My hemi-paresis and confusion was bigger than usually.

And from one moment I don’t remembr anything. Friends said that I was speaking clearly but without sense. And one moment I lifted my hand up and I was staring at it. Like a Statue of Liberty?

Then i started to turn my body left. And I clamped my jaws. And I fell. Or I was blown down… And I started to shake.

From what I don’t remember my friends reaction was full of panic. Crying and running around. Someone put me in the recovery position. My awaress came back in hospital. Someone told me that they suspect another stroke. I remember crying so much. Word ‚epilepsy’ was used later. When I saw my friends I became calm. I even joked. 😉

My doctors were supercool. Most of nurses and ward nurses also. During next days my epilepsy was confirmed. Now I’m a strokie with pilepsy blem.

We don’t now how it will develop. Maybe drugs will work perfctly and this attack was my last epileptic performance. But it doesn’t have to be one time show. In hospital I met a girl with post-stroke epilepsy who still can’t win her battle. I feel so sorry for her.

In this moment I’d love to deny  rumours that I was running out the topics to write on my blog(s) and that’s why I developed epilepsy. It wasn’t also for fading interest in my person. I don’t invite anyone for medical marihuana just yet.
