Epilepsy Awareness Month: Day 15!

My brain has shown how differently it works for different things.  I had yet another absence on Day 15 of Epilepsy Awareness Month and Dad noticed and lifted my laptop off my knee on to my floor.  But, instead of trying to relax myself and get myself out of my absence, all I was thinking about was trying to focus on trying to get back to my music as quickly as possible.

Dad had taken my headphones off and tried to get me to talk to him and all I was doing was looking straight past him and focusing on getting back to my music!  I was being told to take deep breaths and stay relaxed, but all I was thinking was,

"I want to get back to my music!"

You know, priorities and everything.

Overall, my larger seizures are better.  I'm not having them as regularly and I'm not feeling as irritable so I think that's a good thing and it's also making me feel a lot more alert.  Although the dancing exams are coming up, I don't feel as nervous and I'm finding it easier to remain calm even though I have a lot of dances to remember.

I tend to walk into the exam hall feeling as if I've forgotten my routines, but once I hand my papers over to the examiner, I remember my routines again and I feel better.  I know that everything will be fine, even though at first I have my doubts!

I will always feel hesitant to get a driving license though...
