Blogger: Today With PokieToo and Parkinson's Disease - Formatting Settings
I have had some interesting conversations lately and as I mull them over in what is left of my brain. I thought I might pass my thoughts on to you. At the beginning of last week I had a seizure. I have Parkinson's and was not really expecting to return to Epilepsy. In 1996 I had two grand mal seizures and had no more. this led me to belive I did not have Epilepsy but only Parkinson's. Wrong. I have sense learned that once you have Epilepsy, you always have Epilepsy. I was preparing for my big day at the Health 2.0 Conference and had a phone call at 12:30 and went down. At 2:30 my much frightened mother was trying to wake me up. I ask her to hand me the phone and I dialed a phone number I did not know to get help. Now in telling you I did not know this number you may be confused. The number was to my daughter's work office and I only know her cell phone number. I got right through to the receptionist who hurriedly got my daughter and off she came to get me. If you do not believe in a higher being, I am so sorry, because this was definitely divine intervention. I have never used this number and do not know it now. Thank you Lord. I now have two general practitioners and a neurologist among my many doctors. These three are immediate and functioning and the give and take has been amazing. My medications have been completely revamped. I have had Sonagrams, Xrays, EEG's, EKG.s, blood work and stress tests and to this one of my doctors calls me his "medical encyclopidia." One doctor just keeps saying, "Amazing" and the neurologist redid my whole life in a language I did not always understand but always answered, "Yes."
I am not sure where God is taking me this time but am totally amazed at his technic. As I sit in my recliner and try to get some of my strength back, my mind knows better than to question too much but as is normal with some humans, I question every turn...... knowing there are no answers.
I decided tonight to go back to stories. Small treasures to be left behind for my grandkids. Pictures of a past that no longer exists. Told as only my mind remembers it and saved for another day. Those that read my ramblings often say that is my best shot and I hope you continue to enjoy......love Pokie
This is my viewpoint on fighting not only Parkinson's Disease but Acute Arthritis and Epilepsy with My Lord on one side and Patientslikeme.com on the other....with a sense of fun and friendship all around..... Sincerely, Pokie

Dreams or Nightmares?

Well that was an interesting morning, to say the least. I got Facebook all set up to monitor the Health 2.0 Conference and thought maybe I should go get something for lunch in the kitchen before I got really busy. Two hours later my mom was waking me up on the kitchen floor and I was off to the hospital for several days. It seems I had pneumonia and a urinary tract infection which triggered a seizure. This was the first seizure I have had in thirteen years. The doctors now feel the epilepsy is back and have put me back on depakote. I never got to enjoy one minute of air time. Oh well, I learned a lot by setting the site up and really had a good time before the seizure. Monday I will head back in to the doctor and hash all my meds over again and have a sleep test for apnea. There seems to be no end to this road once you start on it. I will all more tomorrow when I have had a chance to check all the sites out...love pokie
