It was finally time to discuss my EEG results with my neurologist. I was really looking forward to this appointment hoping for amazing results, results that showed absolutely no seizure activity in my brain. I know that was pretty farfetched, but after my EEG two years ago, my neurologist said there was less seizure activity and I haven’t had a seizure in over nine years. I wasn’t putting a lot of hopes on that, but a girl can still dream, right?

My test results did not show a significant decrease in activity, but they did not show an increase in activity either. This was really the most important and best thing to get out of that appointment. That means what I’m doing, taking the correct medicine, the right amount and taking them twice a day, every day, getting enough sleep, no caffeine after 6 pm, and no alcohol is still working. If I keep doing all of this, there should be no risk of me having any seizures, this is why my doctor does not want to change any of my medications yet.

He was very happy and reminded me that pretty soon it will be 10 years since my last seizure. In just 9 months it will be a decade! I think that will require and justify some celebration.

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.
