Right so I just wrote a long entry on where I've been and I accidently deleted it. So...the short version:

-I have been in the hopstial the past couple days. Got back yesterday evening.

-I had a seizure the other night. I don't remember it. My parents took me to the emergency room. I have epilepsy. If you recall, I wrote an entry a while back about how my RA had to take me to the hopstial because I was found wandering the halls sobbing, not knowing where I was. Well folks, apparently I had a seizure. My parents think I also had one in September.

-It's not a severe form of epilepsy. Some kind of mild, juvenille form of it. I have to take meidication for it now. It's called depakote, or depa-something.

Anyway...that's the short version. If ya want to know more, let me know. Anyway....

I had to retire the tongue piercing. I had to get an MRI at the hopstial, and you're supposed to remove all piercings and metal objects from your body. When I tried to get it back in I couldn't. The hole was already halfway closed. Oh well.

*sigh*. I'm really sorry I'm neglecto-girl. frown I miss you guys.

I've got it too. Depacote is a really tough drug to adapt too. I got really tired. I slept a lot and gained weight. But it's a good drug to start on. Now I'm on Lamictal, which works better for me. Different things work for different people. Anyways, if you have an questions, or just want to talk about it, feel free to send me a message through my profile contact. I was your age when I had my first one. I'm fine now.
