It's been discovered that I am good at jinxing things! I said yesterday that I had gone two months exactly since having a tonic-clonic seizure, but later on that night, I had a deep seizure.
According to my parents, it wasn't an actual tonic-clonic seizure, it was more of a really deep absence. But it felt like a big seizure because I felt so tired afterwards, I felt like the after effects of my deep absence was forcing my eyes shut. It resulted in me having to go to bed and sleeping until 11:15! That's what I call a lie in!
Having a seizure of any sort is the equivalent of doing a marathon which is a disadvantage in lots of ways - the energy draining out of you, crying, feeling sick from being so tired, your limbs being so heavy, wanting to talk but not having the energy to so just talking jibberish...
The advantage of having a deep absence was that it didn't count in the number of tonic-clonic seizures I have had, so I can still focus on the fact that my last tonic-clonic was on holiday in August. But I know that everything will be fine. If I believe that everything will go OK, that it will go OK!
