Seizures

It's been a rough couple of days.  

Friday night we were at my parents' house and I was helping my Mom clean up after dinner.  I was transferring the left over salad into a smaller bowl and that is the last thing I remember.  According to my Mom and hubby I fell backwards and then onto the floor.  Apparently I had 2 grand mal seizures on the hardwood floor.  Fortunately, they knew what to do since my sister Jen has epilepsy.

After they got me out of the kitchen and into the family room I decided to sleep on the floor with a pillow and blanket.  I was already terribly dizzy, so I figured the floor was my best option since I couldn't fall.  I ended up having another grand mal seizure, but thankfully was already on the floor and had my head on a pillow.  I have no idea how long any of the three lasted.  I'm sore... I feel like someone beat me up, but I'm fine.


Yesterday was a day of rest.  I spent the entire day relaxing and mostly sleeping.  I even fell asleep in conversations.  Last night before bed I had a mild seizure, but it was so far from the types of seizures I had on Friday that it almost doesn't count.


Today will be another day of rest.  This evening we are planning to go to the Christmas program at my old church; my Dad is in the show.


You may think I'm crazy, but I truly believe that God is using the Lyme's Disease to His glory.  I don't believe that Christ gave me this disease.  That isn't how He works, but He can work through bad situations and I honestly believe that is what He is doing.  God is helping me to realize that I need to slow down.  Instead of continuing to say "yes" to doing everything, I really need to take care of me first.  So, I believe He is preparing me for 2011 as my year of rest.  What all that consists of is beyond me, but I am trusting in Him.  


Have a wonderful week and remember to keep Jesus in every second of it!


God bless & love,
