Fighting currents

Of course, one of the biggest irritations of temporal lobe epilepsy is the tendency for the seizure threshold to still be dismally low for several days after the initial episode. I am still fighting against continuous auras, which has been hitting in small waves. Compare it to standing in the ocean up to your chest, while gentle currents flow against you and you struggle to stay grounded, so you do not float away, so you do not drown.
Trying to not drown in my own brain chemistry can be tiring.

The fantastic news: Tonight's dose of Soma has given me an extraordinary amount of mental, physical, and emotional energy. I barely register any pain or soreness or achiness or tension, and I am bouncy. Bouncy. Loquacious, enthusiastic, bright-eyed. I honestly cannot remember the last time really I felt like that. I feel free. I know it will end soon, but I'm reveling in it now, relishing.

We watched the last episodes of "Avatar: The Last Airbender" at Charlotte and Billy's house. Gods, I loved it. Aang is one of my favorite fictional characters ever.

It's good that you can appreciate things at the time they happen. I frequently have to remind myself that things change and emotions pass. I hate not knowing when it's going to be OVER.

I just started watching that show. I don't want to watch them out of order, though, so I must rely upon DVDs.
