I think I have the idea

This morning I just started to write what ever came to mind, and it started to sound good. I think I got a good start for a book, or at least an idea. I'm not sure where this will end, because as I write more ideas keep coming up and it all keeps changing, but … Continue reading I think I have the idea

Are you kidding me?

After I proved to myself I could work out with a lot of people around me, I went to the gym at probably it's busiest time of the day, 7 p.m. Not only was it busy, but it closed in 2 hours, at 9, so I rushed through the routine, one exercise after the other … Continue reading Are you kidding me?

Robin went home

I woke up very tired today, I didn’t want to do anything, but I had told myself I would clean today. The apartment smelled like dog, and it hurt because the dog wasn’t here anymore, he went home with his master yesterday. I thought cleaning and getting the smell out would make it all normal, … Continue reading Robin went home

A very, very good movie was made about this

While I was watching the movie Concussion earlier today, I saw an image of what happens to neurons after your head gets shaken really hard. I only thought, that explains what I’ve been through these past few years. After this, my mom, who was sitting next to me said that happened to you, but only … Continue reading A very, very good movie was made about this

Don’t worry about me, I just won’t move because I have epilepsy 

Do people feel sorry for me? Do people think I can't do anything? I can't drink, but that's about it, I'm still the same person. I was invited to brunch today, which turned into lunch, and then I found out they have plans of going to the beach after, but nobody told me. I wasn't … Continue reading Don’t worry about me, I just won’t move because I have epilepsy 

I didn’t mean to, but I proved myself wrong

It has been 42 hours since I missed my nightly dose of 4 Keppra and 1 Vimpat. These are the two medicines that have been doing a great job of helping me control my epilepsy. I spent 24 hours without taking Vimpat and 42 without Keppra. Nothing happened during the day I spent without Keppra … Continue reading I didn’t mean to, but I proved myself wrong

That time I missed a dose

I've been really good about taking my medicine on time, sometimes I'm a little too strict about that. If it's 8 pm, it's 8 pm, not a minute sooner, and I never forget. I complain when my mom keeps checking up on me, asking if I took my medicines, because she knows I'm even more … Continue reading That time I missed a dose

Sending more job applications

Today I was going to send out job applications, again, but I only sent one. I have a list of places to send my resume and cover letter just hoping they will have something for me. But this process is not easy and does not get easier. I have a new cover letter talking about … Continue reading Sending more job applications

Stop, just think about it before running away

I have issues, issues with too many people around me. I was at the gym tonight and it was very, very, really full of people. I almost left, but as I was going to get my water bottle I noticed one person leaving, so I stood there for a second and thought, I need to … Continue reading Stop, just think about it before running away

Walking with #teamsusie

Tonight I joined Team Susie in one of their daily (or nightly) walks. We walked from Miramar, to Condado, and back. I had never joined Team Susie for one of these walks because I thought it would be boring, but it turns out it wasn't. I spent the whole 1:30 talking to one of my … Continue reading Walking with #teamsusie

That time I had multiple seizures

1/9/2013 Yesterday I woke up in a hospital. I didn’t understand what happened until they told me. Then I understand I had a seizure and that why I dint remember and why I was in the hospital. I was writing, is stopped making sense to me and I went into a seizure. Wow, it's hard … Continue reading That time I had multiple seizures

That time I took the GRE

Last night I saw that it had been four years since I took the GRE, the test that I thought would determine what I would do for the next few years. Taking this test opened a lot of doors for me, but now I can't believe I was able to take this test, which helped … Continue reading That time I took the GRE

Look at me world, controlling my epilepsy

YES, it’s been 9 months since my last seizure, 9 MONTHS! I’m only 3 months away from making it a year without seizures. Nine months is a lot; babies are born in this amount of time. I’ve completed a whole school year without seizures. That’s 3 less months than the 12 months that make a … Continue reading Look at me world, controlling my epilepsy
