I'm Okay!

In spite of the bad start, yesterday turned out better than I had anticipated.  I managed to get quite a few things done at home before heading off to get blood work done and pick up my newest prescription.  Afterwards, I went to the warehouse to help Ali with the paperwork and shipping so that he could help make funeral arrangements for a friend who was found dead in his apartment two days ago.  The man was here in the US by himself, so it took some serious red tape negotiating to get his family in Egypt notified and then to get his body released from the coroner's office.  The mission was accomplished in the late afternoon, and the funeral will be held today.

The results of the blood test that I had yesterday are already available and from what I could see, everything is within normal range except for the Dilantin.  That would probably explain the flurry of seizures from a couple of days ago as well as the one that I had about an hour ago.  Looks like it's time to increase the dosage.  I've emailed my wonderful neurologist, who instructed me to check in with her the day after the seizures, and will see what she thinks about the results.

It's back to the warehouse today so that I can cover for Ali while he attends the funeral.  I'm not looking forward to going, as I have way too much to do around the house to get ready for Thanksgiving.  Oh well, that's just what happens when you own a business. . .

seizures, life is beautiful, life interrupted
