I realize that I never fully understood my epilepsy I didn't want to I just wanted to keep going, nothing had to change. Right? Just take the meds and keep going doing my thing my life was finally falling into place financial security was right there, I wasn't planning European family vacations but if something broke we could fix it without trouble. I didn't need to life large just to live without panicking about getting into debit with creditors. But epilepsy threatened all of that. I had a job without health insurance, I relied on my husbands which had a high deductable and co-pays. I had never taken medications and now relied on two to get through my day and two more as needed for my headaches/migraines. Stress is not good for Epilepsy I was told time and time again but the more I realized about how my life was changing the more stressed I became.

I kept working until one day I was standing picking up my boys from school and the next I was being helped up from these nice two ladies who told me I slipped on some ice. I couldn't recall where I was, what I was doing, that I was even outside or with my boys until I hear my younger son speak up "don't help mom up she has epilepsy you have to wait til her brain reboots!" The first thing that came clear through all the fog was and what my young son would call the F-bomb. Everything was going to change now....
