brightness in shadow
Oct. 19th, 2007 03:53 pmI had one in my sleep: A complex partial seizure that became a secondary generalized tonic clonic seizure. In other words, in old terms, a grand mal. Around six-thirty this morning, I woke up with a vicious headache, a badly sore and stiff body, a bitten tongue, and a sensation that my muscles, nerves, and brain had been beaten bloody and raw. There was no way I would be able to go to work in that condition. I slept next to Adam until almost one in the afternoon. Adam has today off, because on Sunday he will be driving to Nashville, TN, setting up, and coming back on Tuesday. He offered to buy me coffee at Starbucks, which would help my recovery. We also bought food for the weekend at the Giant Foods store. I only just started feeling human again. Tonic clonic seizures do not need to be as dramatic and intense as TV and movies make them out to be. But when they happen during sleep, it can be frightening. I have no memory of it happening, but there are signs. I feel like I have been through hell.
Lunch is tomato soup with melted shredded mozzarella cheese, and powdered oregano, garlic, turmeric, salt, and red and black pepper.
My laptop is dead. I will wait a few weeks for Adam to take it to his coworker Jorge, who specializes in fixing dead laptops. In the meantime, I am using the house desktop.
A major bright spot: I got a package from Vicki (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

MY Psyche Lotion. The one I asked for. The essential oil blend fragrance I helped create: Wild Rose, Orchid, Chamomile, Neroli. Same ingredients as the Gaia Cream/Lotion (and it has Goji berries now!), but with MY scent. My Psyche scent. The scent I had customized into a Harmony Elixir Spray, the scent I dreamed about that connected with the goddess of the soul. My dream scent. Oh my gods. Vicki, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. This made my day so much better. I'm still squealing. This makes me so happy. Now I just need to wait for my Facial Oil to come in the mail.
