Bummer of a weekend
I got the line on a beach side cabin rental in Camp Pendleton. On Sunday I was playing smashball with my son when I started getting tunnel vision. I was heading back to my chair when I passed out and fell into a seizure that lasted ~ 2 minutes. I regained some consciousness in the ambulance on the ride to the hospital. I was released to go home later that night. I bit my tongue pretty good and my chest and upper back are very painful - darvocet in moderation is helping but I want to be off that by tomorrow.
So that is my second seizure in 10 years. The first occurred when I was sick and exhausted from a work trip and I passed out in Target and fractured my skull on their concrete floor (no law suit...it was all me). Docs then attributed the seizure due to my skull impacting the concrete. Since then I have been fine but admittedly I'm a bit worried.
I had an EEG done today and will have the full MRI next week. Doc thinks it was again exhaustion (I've been sleeping really poorly lately) and combo with overall stress (lots of that too these days). So anyone have experience with this stuff? Other than my really sore body my head feels clear and thanks to the darvocet I've been sleeping like a baby. What long term effects can I look forward to? Worst case scenario? Best case?
