babelfish.com doesn't have that option yet

This is how I read when I'm trying to communicate with someone, while in that lovely post-seizure state. Yes, this is an e-mail that I'd sent to Kellie, after I had a seizure at work:

Post-Ictal:
Hi just when I though that things couldn’t go any worse better – I had ended up having a seizure at work. Which would explain why I’m having spelling … I’m doing okay – except for the headache, and having bitten my headache. :(

And no, I don’t think that the medication has failed – unfortunately, there’s not much that can be done about my seizures.

English Translation:
Hi - just when I thought that things couldn't get any worse, I ended up having a seizure at work! Which would explain why I'm having spelling troubles ... I'm doing okay - except for the headache, and having bitten my tongue. :(

And no, I don't think that the medication has failed - unfortunately, there's not much that can be done about my periods.

Thankfully, we're having a sense of humor over everything, especially the "having bitten my headache" line (my personal favorite). Also, Kellie noted that there were no spelling errors - just lots of grammar issues, obviously.

And aside from the bitten headache (or headache and bitten tongue, rather) I'm doing okay. I came home and took a nap - perhaps I will write more about the incident when I'm feeling more up to it.

oh, that sucks to have it happen at work....was it more mild than the "bathroom" incident at your home? How do you handle when it happens at work? do you have issues traveling home to rest and recouperate after one of these while you're not already at home??

...feel better soon

Yeah, it was actually more mild than the "bathroom" incident (when I was on Depakote) - and I wasn't as out of it, or dead to the world.

When it happens at work - this was the first time at my current office - I've usually had a couch to crash out on afterwards, or just gone about my routine as though nothing was wrong. Or, I'd go home and go to sleep - depending upon how serious the seizure was.

As for travel issues, I was able to contact Kellie and she came to get me right away, and we got a cab home from the office. Otherwise, that's why I wear my MedicAlert bracelet! :)
