I went for my first appointment of the year with my neurologist. I always like to go with someone in case he says something that I need to remember, gives me instructions or anything that someone else needs or should hear in case I forget. Today had to go by myself and I was a little nervous at first, I was ready to ask him if I could write down anything important the he said but, thankfully, I didn’t have to. I was also scared I would forget to tell him anything important but I told him I had Covid and about finding the generic equivalent for my epilepsy medication, Vimpat.

This was a big milestone for me, going to my six-month neurologist appointment by myself. The appointment went as well as they usually go, he didn’t change any medications because they have all been doing their job. He was as happy as he always is about me not having any seizures and he is very happy that I am just two months away from being seizure free for eight years!

He also asked about my blog, so I hope he is reading this!

I’m an aspiring writer still looking for exactly what I want to write about, with a lot of creativity, imagination and desire to write. I studied Writing and Rhetoric at Syracuse University where I explored many different sides of writing through my classes and extracurricular activities in order to narrow my search for an identity as a writer. I have written for Citrus TV Noticias and La Voz magazine, both of which gave me the chance to explore different mediums in which to write in. Through Citrus TV Noticias I also gained experience in translating from English to Spanish and vice versa, which is also something that I would be interested in working on since I am fluent in both of these languages. I was also an intern at Syracuse University Press where I got hands on experience in what goes into actually editing and publishing a book. Through out the last four years I have faced a lot of challenges, which helped chape the person I am today. After being in a tragic car accident, being in comma, having a Traumatic Brain Injury, and being in therapy for over a year, I am a new me, willing to face challenges and knowing how to deal with them. I want to write about my accident and life after it to help others, show them it can be done and help in any way I can.
