Author Topic: Best Birthday Ever!  (Read 1261 times)

Not really.  I turned 19 today.  I should be at school, with friends wishing me a happy birthday, and as many treats as I feel like buying.  Instead, I am stuck at home recovering from a loving seizure, during which I dislocated my right shoulder.  I may have to have my arm in a sling for weeks.  So now I sit here, typing this all with my less useful left hand, perusing all of the birthday wishes that appeared on my facebook, most of which encourage me to go party and have fun.  Sadly, I can hardly move, every part of my body is in pain.  The valium I just took is proving useless, just like the tylenol and aleve that I have been taking all day.  Anyways, I just felt like sharing my pain.  Feel free to mock me or tell me how what I'm feeling is nothing compared to the stuff you've all been through.

What happened? What kind of seizure?



Well, if you can only use your non-dominant hand, then why not just type that you had a stuffstorm of a birthday?

But seriously, that sounds terrible.  Hopefully your arm recovers shortly.

Well if anybody can recall, I had a couple of seizures a long time ago that I posted about.  The doctors thought I might have epilepsy.  I took meds for a while.  Then I had a test done, wires were stuck to my head for 24 hours.  The test showed normal brain function, so they took me off the medication.  Big mistake.  Now I have to go back on the medicine for the rest of my life.

My right arm strangely feels fine.  The doctors gave me tons of sedative, it didn't work, they pushed my arm back in place, there was a very audible pop, and now it feels normal.

My friend and I are roommates in college.  We were leaving, just getting off spring break, when I had a seizure in his truck.  He called 911 and my parents.

EDIT:  I ripped the sling off to type this stuff.  I don't give a forget if my arm pops back out of its socket.

It's an ostrich...

Anywho, hope you feel better.
