Problems and seizures

So last night I randomly started slurring and losing my balance and I knew it was bad bc Mike freaked out and he NEVER freaks out.  So he called Fink and she thinks it may have been a minor seizure.  Therefore just to be safe I won't drive for the next couple days.
   I really need to go get my car detailed cause my dog Sasha vomited in it after we she ate a ball.  We took her the animal E.R. they did xrays and then induced vomiting.  They though she was done and let us take her.  Low and behold she held out on one last spew to do it in MY CAR.  So Mike told me to get it detailed yesterday and I was like, "Oh, I'll do it on Tuesday when I have to be out of the house and the dogs are at the Boarding Bungalow."  I was also planning on going to see my nephew Truitt on his birthday Tuesday.  Today I was going to get him a gift Power Ranger black box gear or something like that.

 DAMN STUPID SEIZURES.  Interrupting my life. But the person I feel the most for is my husband bc he is going to have to pick up the slack.  In addition to going to work he will have to go out of his way to take the pups on Tuesday unless I can finagle the boarding place to pick them up and drop them off.  Also the grocery shopping , dry cleaning and all the other stuff that I usually take off his plate.

Driving takes away your freedom.  You never realize how much you value your car until you aren't allowed to drive.  I cannot go to the gym.  I don't want to bother anyone bc my friends have given me enough rides.  They will hopefully move my MRI up and I hope it was just a fluke seizure because if it wasn't that means I am going to have to start fighting again.  Fighting makes me SOOOO tired.  Mike and I have decided No more surgery ever I don't want to do radiation I just want chemo if that what it takes.  But here I am putting the cart miles in front of the horse and the horse is having a hell of a time catching up.  Most likely it is nothing but better be safe than dead.

  1. Andrea ... tried to post quite a long comment to you but stupid old Blogger mucked it up! Just to say fingers are crossed re your little 'wobble', and to tell you that I had 6 weeks of modulated, conforming radiotherapy 3 years ago and no side effects as yet! It was completely painless other than having to travel in and out of the city!!! Best wishes xx

  2. Lesly,
    There was one comment that I replied to and I stupidly (accidentally) erased the reply. Now I type the reply differently.
    Re: my wee wobble I am alright now. How are you doing?? Thank you for loyally reading this. It is for people like you that I hope to make lives better and let their loved ones have a little bit of insight as to what they are going through.
    As for the radiotherapy, did you lose your hair? That was one of the most traumatic moments for me. I was INCREDIBLY lucky to have UT southwestern right in Dallas, Tx. MD
    Keep reading.
