I heard that a few minutes ago in a very inspiring TED talk. I had trouble concentrating on what he said after that, I just kept thinking about it, and he's right.

I was having trouble posting this morning so I will reblog my post. Maybe this way I can share it with everyone.
I have been waiting all week for November 8th. If you remember, October 8 marked my 6 months seizure free, so November 8 marks 7 months seizure free. It won’t be official until tonight, but I’m pretty sure I will make it. If I haven’t had a seizure for 6 months, I don’t think I’ll have one in the next 10 hours and I will make it to exactly 7 months. I have been waiting all week for November 8 so I won’t wait a few hours to star celebrating. Today marks 7 months, today we celebrate.
7 MONTHS!!!!!!!!
