Um, well, I feel kind of like an idiot posting about this for you guys but, anyways..
Two nights ago... {Thursday night... I think?}, I had a seizure at work, which I've never had before, and to anyone who has ever had a seizure before will know it's extremely f*cking scary experience. Anyways, thank god my manager was with me and I was about to serve a customer when it happened, but my manager phoned my mom first to ask her what to do.... Like, who wouldn't phone 911 first...? Luckily there were doctors staying there, but it's not like they did much besides having me choke on water when I was numb. But atleast I had two extremely good looking paramedics who one actually knew my brother... Weird... And then at the hospital they just did bloodwork while I sta around listening to all the drunks in there..., and they were ready to give me ablood transfusion while I was there because my iron was so extremely low in my blood which affects your sleep and makes you feel tired all of the time {but I've had that for so long that I never noticed} and supposedly will also make you pale, bt again, I've always been pale that I wouldn't have known a difference. But I'm really just making this post so you guys know, because I still don't feel completely right and I did hit my head which the doctors didn't realize and which I only noticed when I got home and went to brush my hair. And I actually feel worse today, two days later, than I did yesterday. So, I see my doctor on Monday so hopefully she'll be able to shed some more light on why this even happened. Bleh. |

Sorry for taking so long to reply, I haven't had much time online in the past few days.
I saw my family doctor on Monday and supposedly it could also be something that mimics a seizure but isn't... But it's doubtful. They're still not sure why this happened, and I've been completely honest with them, but it still points towards the fact that my iron {hemoglobin.. Okay, I realize it's spelt wrong but it has something to do with red blood cells ect...} was soo low and it takes three months for them to even notice a tiny difference. Also, since my iron was so low, that means there's less oxygen in my blood so with the huge lack of sleep I was having and standing on my feet and working hard for 8 hours in a row sometimes your body gets to the point where it's like, "STOP!", and that's what happened we're guessing. So with not enough oxygen getting to my brain ect your body just needs to do something to let you know there's something wrong. So it looks like it's going to take awhile before I actually find out what's wrong, once we get the results from the CAT scan {which was actually very easy and was kind of cool to get the "radioactive" stuff injected in since it gives you this weird hot flash}, which will show blood vessels in my head ect... I go for the brain wave scan {EEG} in October which will possibly show if there is anything to do with my brain that may have caused it, which I'm hoping there isn't, but it's now becoming a possibility. My doctor just advised me to take it easy {which has been impossible since I guess my brother doesn't seem to care anymore after a day} since there's a possibility that I may faint or have another seizure. So I told my manager that I wasn't going to return for the last two weeks since I work with hot grease ect, and it's just not safe since I'm mostly by myself and who knows if it happens again and it may take two hours for someone to even realize something was wrong. Which is fine by me, and I'm sure they'll be able to get by without me for two weeks. My head boss then told me if I ever want any job over there in the future I'm more than welcomed, although I don't think I will since it's now some place I don't really want to go to anymore. Sorry for such a long post.. Blaaah. |
