Life sure feels different post seizure. Some things are better, some not so much. For example, I am sleeping better, not running to the bathroom every 30 minutes, and not drinking 20 tumblers of water a day. I am not hungry so have lost four pounds just in the last 5 days. Instead of being warm all the time, I tend to be cold.
On the other hand, I have NO energy. All I want to do is curl up on the couch or go for a ride in the car. (Good gawd, I sound like the family dog. If I start chasing my tail, I'm in trouble.) I don't want to read. I don't want to talk because my tongue hurts. I look at work and am absolutely overwhelmed to the point of tears. I am learning to inject myself twice a day but it ain't fun. The anti-seizure meds give me a stiff neck and headache.
Whine, whine, whine.
I will get back into regular life again soon. Having a tongue without a hole in it will help. :) And I'll get myself some energy somewhere but gosh, I wish me and the dog could trade places for a week or so.

Hey Tami,
Just checking in on you. I am sorry this is going to be a slow recovery for you. Give yourself the luxury of time! One of your characteristics that I enjoy the most is your sense of humor, so happy to see that you still can use it. Go ahead and take a page out of your dog's book. Hang your head out of the car window and let the wind blow!!!
Oh geez don't encourage her!! She gets arrested ALL THE TIME for flashing traffic from the front passenger seat!!!
I'm just glad you're around to whine, although I don't know that I'd call it whining! :)
{{{hugs}}}
