What was I doing again?

[willowroot]

Now I know what someone having a seizure sounds and looks like.

It's also reassuring to know that all of my long-accumulated first aid training from my days in the scouts and with Red Cross refresher courses has not left my head.

I'm thankful that the "bystander effect" did not happen in this instance.

I hope for his sake that 'Chad' makes out alright.

Writing? What's that? I'm gonna go out for a walk...

It's not fun, is it? And damn, the things you can do are so limited and don't feel like really helping.

Was a guy in my Accounting classes in college whose seizures were triggered by stress, so every test day, he'd have one.

Whoa. I don't have any of that kind of training so if that happened to me I'm afraid the best I could do would be to freeze up...and possibly also make loud, unhelpful exclamations. Eesh.

I hope he's ok.

And I hope you're ok too. I still wish I could come support you in two weeks.

Not fun at all. An ex of mine has epilepsy, and I can still vividly recall his seizures.

Scary - good for you for being there and helping. Not many people do.
