On the way back from a shopping trip today I had an absence seizure with I am told lasted just over 10 minutes. Now my carer is use to me having all different kinds of seizures, passing out, not knowing what year it is, how old I am, becoming partly paralysed, but she had never been around for this before so as she was driving us home and I started to ignore her she wondered what was happening as she said "I was staring into space with the same expression on my face".

She said she pulled over to check I was breathing and my lips were not going blue because I was just so none responsive.

After she checked in with my husband she set off back on the road home when I came round and wanted to know how on earth we had got to the high street from the stadium, she said "oh your back" and told me the tale laughing with relief.

It is funny how someone can be so use to all you mad symptoms and now what to do in every situation and not have seen one of them in 4 years.
It goes to show I have the right people round me though as she did not sound like she panicked and simple pulled over to check on me, called my husband to check she was doing the right thing as it was new to her and felt right to continue to drive home.

Today I was told because I have disabilities (meaning my fits) I should feel lucky to be in a job!

Excuse me

With so many people out of work who are actively trying to seek employment I am grateful that I have a job, but my conditions have nothing to do with it.

I fully understand a lot of people can not work with disabilities and maybe someday I will find myself in that position but for now with work place adjustments I can and have a right to. I am capable of doing the job I was employed to do even if I do fit.

Working if you have a disability is not luck it is a right just like everyone else.

Rant over.
