Yeah I know...it's been awhile...
Hey guys...i don't think anyone actually reads this or checks to see if i've updated anymore but hey that really won't stop me. Also the fact that i'm home alone doing nothing on a friday night would drive me to severe boredom lol.
Since i last updated, I guess a lot has gone on, depends on how you look at it. There have been plenty of things that have happened that weren't quite in my favor i guess you could say, both mentally and physically. I know i shouldn't be one to complain but even I cannot say that my life is perfect, because it really isn't, nobody's life is really perfect.
The most latest event was that I had another one of my seizures, some of you know what I'm talking about. Heres the story...
I had an Orthodontist appointment on tuesday, a little bit after school. I was feeling fine that day nothing really would have been able to predict a seizure, or fainting, whatever this may be. I got my braces tightened, and a total of 4 elastics put on, those of you who don't have/had braces...it hurts like a mother fucker. But anyways, i was fine, the elastics were new to me and which felt sorta weird. Even so, i thought nothing of it. When my mom and I were getting ready to make another appointment standing at the front desk, suddenly i felt lightheaded and next thing i knew, i was waking up laying on the ground. The feeling of something after that is frustrating and startling at the same time. These seizure/passing out things that i have had/been having, can be very scary things. I have no control over my body for about a minute. To wake up on the ground not having a clue of what just happened and about 10 faces looking down at you saying your name over and over again, seeking me to regain consciousness, its pretty crazy. Although i'm one to hate being fussed over, and after these things i feel fine and i just want to get up and keep going about my day...but obviously it doesn't get brushed off that easily. Anyways, back to my story. I had waken up and my mom and pretty much the entire staff was looking at me trying to see if i was ok, as an ambulance was headed to my orthodontists office. The paramedics checked me out, my vitals were fine, but we went to the hospital anyways. The one problem to this whole situation, is that we have no idea why this happens. Which kinda makes it frustrating and scarier to a whole new level. My mom took me to the hospital where i got a CT Scan (brain scan) and a EKG (tests your heart) to end up leaving still clueless to why this has been happening. It sucks, even so i know that the situation could be even worse...and i know that some people do actually have much worse than i have, but on my degree...its crazy.
Leading up to why i even told that story was because i have to get an MRI scan done tomorrow at the Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, which is another more thorough brain scan. Its supposed to take a strange chunk of time, but hey we'll see. Also i think i'm supposed to be going shopping with jay at some point tomorrow to shop for the baby-chickens lol(girlfriends) hopefully a good time...
I really hope that Christmas is great like it always is, and i hope that you guys have an awesome christmas as well. Christmas has always been something that i can look forward to, which is something the appreciate for sure because im sure that there a lot of people out there that want things to look forward to, who doesnt right?
Lately i've been really fatigued, and have had minor symptoms of a cold but nothing has really stood out. I guess it would be quite fair to say that health hasn't been 100% on my side. My teeth really hurt still too...lol i've had to get yogurt for lunch for the past couple days, plus on occasion having scrambled eggs for dinner lol.
It's an interesting life we live folks...so live it to its full potenital...
