Over-thinking everything
Yesterday evening I was overwhelmed with a significant feeling of déjà vu. According to Wikipedia, déjà vu is the experience of feeling sure that one has already witnessed or experienced a current situation, even though the exact circumstances of the previous encounter are uncertain and were perhaps imagined. What creeps me out about the déjà vu is that I...
My old twitching grounds
I’m visiting a Starbucks where once I suffered a significant partial seizure. I remember getting up use the restroom and halfway there I was on the ground twitching. Two EMTs happened to be in the cafe and they stayed with me throughout the ordeal. It is certainly nice now enjoying my small iced latte without...
Floating
I pulled my car over because I’m floating in space right now. Everything keeps moving. This blog was posted from my iPhone.
The shakes
I’ll be starting my 17th month of Temodar next week. Is anyone else getting the shakes, or hand tremors? I’ve started shaking a bit lately and I wonder if it’s from the drug, from my brain, a type of mini-seizure (that I’ve never experienced before) or a figment of my imagination. Well, it can’t be...
Predictable
I had a partial seizure this week. You know, I’ve been keeping tracking of when my seizures occur, and they happen about two months apart in the evenings between 7-9 p.m. Fascinating.
Math genius
Almost forgot! I had a minor partial seizure around 5 p.m. at work yesterday. My boss hung out with me as I took Ativan and slinked to the floor–assuming the “holy shit I could be flailing in a second” pose. I counted down from 100, subtracting by the number 7. Around the mid-40s I was...
The third time’s the charm
Note: One-armed typers can get away with typos after surgery. Typing 1 handed now that shoulder surgery is over. (48 hours ago.) First they had me on Vicodin then Percoset. Now I have to switch bavk and forth between the two for daytime and nightime. I hate drgs. They make me sick. UAgh. I am...
Partial seizure? I can deal
I forgot to mention that I had a simple partial seizure on Dec. 9. I was on the computer (probably using Facebook or something equally time-wasting) when suddenly my right hand felt like it didn’t belong to me. I’ve had a tiny bit of limb agnosia on my right side ever since the second craniotomy,...
A minor partial seizure
I could tell something was lingering at the borders of my senses. I felt it in my face and my thoughts ricocheted between confusion and absolute clarity. Brett and I were playing Trivial Pursuit and it was my turn to read him a question. I read the words but I couldn’t tell what the words...

I had six sensory seizures today. Dr. P says the left parietal lesion has grown. He is consulting a neurosurgeon for the next steps.

I’m having weird/nervy sensations in my right elbow 4-5 times a day.

I’ve been having weird coordination issues the past few days between my right and left hands (sides). The right side is definitely weird. Random muscle twitches are still occurring.
