More Musings

Had another "brain event" on Sunday, October 1.  It's the weirdest thing and so hard to describe to someone who has never had a seizure.  It's truly the brain on overload, and then, there are things that have to happen in recouperation.  Today was the first day I worked a full day and all was well. 

According to the handsome neurologist, there were several things contributing to this seizure, sort of like the perfect storm.  Meds were increased and a sternly worded exhortation was heard regarding signs and symptoms which I overlooked in the busyness of life.  He does not expect me to have another one with this med increase, particularly if I take care of myself and note when I may be having signs indicating future problems.  I'm fortunate, I had warning time before this one, and actually, had I been paying attention, I had about 2 days of warning signs.

In other news, I'm continuing to try to stay off of Facebook at least with the commenting I COULD
be doing, and I've cut way back on posting statuses.  It is not worth it to me to be misunderstood or to unintentionally hurt someone's feelings while I'm passionately defending or promoting a position.   I'm also in the process of just letting several things go - water under the bridge - my job here is to live at peace, especially with those I call family.  Living a quiet, peaceful life just trusting God minute by minute is the challenge and is a lifestyle I long to emulate.  Dying to self and selfish desires, including the desire to be heard on every topic which is posted will be a life-long quest for me. 

In the meantime, things I could have posted but didn't (I feel I can do that here because no one reads this blog):

In 11 years of doing this job, I've never seen so many broken children at my base school.  It is heartbreaking and stressful.

Love this weather - we finally got rain, but it's almost too warm for October!

Really?  Pumpkin spice underwear?

NFL players - you can stand or kneel, I don't care.  Just do your job.  And no matter your opinions, I hope you are volunteering and making a difference in your corner of the world.  You have been given much, much will be required from you.  You are role models.  Live responsibly and faithfully to what you've been called to do.

There's no tired like a good tired, and a good rest.

In the middle of the night, I wake up and hear music in my head.  It's a great comfort to me.

See ya next time.
