RE: Life with epilepsy: accepting the reality - day when everything has changed

in #health5 years ago

Dang!!! The amount of positivity coming from your writing can be felt and what a story to read when I first wake up and I am waiting for my coffee to brew. Faith not Fear -Love not Fear Amen to that!!
I have an older brother that had epilepsy since I could remember. He is only 4 years older than I, but growing up with an epileptic sibling was tough. I couldn’t image how tough it was on him. He is the toughest person I know mentally. You seem to be the same way. No matter what this disease threw at him he was always in good spirits. Having fun and living life the best he could. Even though he would have a hiccup every now and again. We tried not to treat him any different and Never once did I hear him say “Why me!” At age 14 he had brain surgery to correct it. I remember freaking out about the idea of the doctors opening up his skull while he stayed awake, yet he was calm as could be.
Seeing his strength and yours makes me wonder how I would have taken life has I been diagnosed. Would I have been so positive, so strong, so upbeat, and never wallow in self pity? I sure hope so. I tip my hat to you and wish you best of luck getting them dang teeth fixed. It’s crazy how easily they can be broken but how much it costs to fix is another story. There is no room for negativity in a positive life.
Cheers!!

Thank u @jlsplatts ❤ I can't imagine how my husband feels....Every time when he hear something he needs to be prepared, my family also...I saw a video of my seizure and this is not fun to see...I'm so glad he is a medicine worker and he know what he's doing, so is easier for him...so fighting and not giving up is the best medicine😁..I'm moving in new apartment so I need to be positive :) and cheers ;)
