For IBB
There is nothing in the world like waking up from a deep sleep to see paramedics standing over you. The feeling of dread is overwhelming. You want answers, but so do they.
"What is your name?" "Tina."
"What day is it?" "I don't know.....but I never know!"
"Who is the President?" "I don't know that either, but I know I don't like him!"
They chuckle and go about their business, which just happens to be me. I look over at my family to gauge from the look on their faces how bad it was this time. I forget that it's always bad. I fall back into a deep sleep. I wake up again as I'm being wheeled into the ER. I look at the cute Paramedic and tell him that I remember who the President is......Clinton! I knew I didn't like him! They tell the staff that my sense of humor is intact and that I'm in pretty good shape. I know better. I know my license will be taken away, which quite frankly, I don't mind. I know that this will be hard on my husband because he will have to drive me everywhere again. I can't stand being a burden. BUT......although I'm bruised and have a monster headache, I'm ever so grateful that I did not hurt anyone else.
I didn't get my driver's license until I was 22 years old. My doctor would not sign off on it. I found out later that many others would have. It's okay though. I have always had a fear that I would have a seizure while driving and hurt an innocent person. It terrified me when my children were younger. Now my kids know how to grab the wheel and keep the car straight, at the very least. I've been lucky that all my seizures have been at home.....most in the bathroom. I don't know what it is about the tiny space, but twice I had just turned off the water after a shower. Can you imagine the poor souls that had to get me out of there?!! Once it was my sister and the other time my sister-in-law! I owe them big time. My sister says she is scarred for life.....and not from the seizure.......it was my nekkidness~
I don't ever think about my epilepsy until something either happens to me or someone I know. It's just an every day part of my life. I realize that I could be really hurt by it or worse. I'm fine with that.....as long as no one else is hurt. IBB, although you miss your friend, I can guarantee you that she is eternally grateful that no one else was hurt when it was her time. Although extremely saddened, her granddaughter is okay and was not hurt and was lucky enough to spend her grandma's last moments with her. I don't suppose you will ever understand the loss of your friend, but hopefully it will comfort you knowing that you have one more angel in Heaven watching over you. Maybe Dale can even help protect you from all those bears~ xoxoxoxo
1st!!!with many tears!!!
ReplyDeleteTina.. Thank you soooo much... and I know I have a very aggressive angel up there now...
ReplyDeletewow... I am so honored that you wrote this for me...
thank you... I wouldn't have it through this with ALL of you...
THANK YOU!!!!!
And one of Dales worst fears is ,was , hurting someone while driving... her last seizure(before this one) was Christmas eve.. and she drove into her neighbors house... nobody was hurt and she was thankful for that!!!
I'm happy to do that for you~ That's what this is all about, isn't it? :D
ReplyDeleteMorning Glories!
ReplyDeleteTina that was beautiful that you wrote it for IBB.
IBB everything Tina wrote was so true. Now I am teary eyed.
(((Hugs))) to you both!
tina~ what a beautiful blog and wonderful thing to do for IBB.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing with all of us- it could have been something you sent her in private.
As a diabetic, I worry about having a reaction and hurting someone while I'm driving too. Has never happened, hope it never does.
Good Morning Hooters!

ReplyDeleteTina, what a touching blog. You're a real friend.
IBB; Even though we're all heartened by Tina's blog, we're also reminded to pause and think of Dale.
ReplyDeleteWOW, so touching and heartfelt, what a beautiful blog.
ReplyDeleteTina thank you for sharing that, and also for the loving gift to IBB.
Good morning to IBB, (congrats on 1st!), Tina, Lynn, Goldie, Carol, Scirish, Zona and Bonacci

Thank you for "putting yourself out there" - love ya!!
Thanks for helping out IBB - I know she has had a heavy heart!!

:-)

ReplyDeleteTina, how kind of you to write such a heartfelt blog for IBB and her friend. I had no idea you lived with epilepsy--you're so brave and I admire your strength and openness. (((hugs!)))
Hi LynnD, Goldie, Carol, Scirish, Zona, Bonacci, MEK and EBJ! (EBJ, how is Paula today?)
MEK: This is the only night I don't have anything to watch on TV! ;)
ReplyDeleteG'morning BONACCI, EBJ and SANDIE!
VIG: Welcome Home!
DIANNE: Pool is looking good! Mr. Z wants to do another rain dance though... ;)
Zona, has Mr. Z been in Georgia recently, by chance? Cause someone sure did a rain dance here ....
ReplyDeleteSANDIE: lol..not that I know of!
ReplyDeleteTINA: Read the blog again...wow..
Making a quick fly-by. I am heading North to visit my Brother in the nursing home. I may even meet mr Mary and his buddies at the Casino as it is only 6 miles from the home. ;-)
ReplyDeleteTina, just one more reason to love you! I love what you wrote. It shows the very best of you.
IBB, Tina opened her heart to you and all of us. I will be thinking about "the letter" to you today and thank God for such good friends.We are truly a community of amazing friendships!
See yah all tonight as we channel surf our fingers to the bone lol!
MARY: Have a wonderful visit with your brother. Good luck if you go to the casino.
ReplyDeleteThis schedule change is confusing me..is it time for bed yet?
I just re-read the blog and the start of the comments.. I think Meant... I would not have MADE it through this WITHOUT all of you...
ReplyDeleteTina Thank you again... I am so touched that you opened yourself up so much to help ME heal...
I don't know what I would do with out you all everyday...
IBB Congrats on being first Owl in the nest today. How appropriate! (((HUGS)))
ReplyDeleteTina Thank you for sharing such an intimate part of your life with us. It was beautifully written and I feel priviledged to have been given a glimpse into such a private part of your life.
Since episodes seem to get triggered in the bathroom, have you done anything special in there. I mean as far as padding the edge of the bathtub or something, not "special" as in a pornish kind of way. :)
I have a baby shower to go to tonight... had a relay for life meeting last night.. asked hubby to help me record the DWTS last night... I already had the VCR set... I tape my soap everyday... sooo all he had to do was change the channels.... do you think he could do that..NO....
ReplyDeleteso I was going to go straight to the shower from work... to help set everything up... but now I have to go home and change channels so I don't miss IDOL...
IBB You can watch programs one day late by going to the networks website and watching on your computer. :)
ReplyDeleteTina I see that Eunice is having a facial. I expect she will be even prettier than usual.
ReplyDeleteOooops! Sorry, I forgot I wasn't dressed.
ReplyDeleteJust got back from running some errands..
ReplyDeleteIBB - I looked everywhere for your truffles - I think they ship those back - NONE to be found..
BUT - I scored on my Russell Stovers Vanilla Cream eggs - only bought THIRTY!!! YIKES. - the "old" lady checking me out said - "oh honey, you are going to get sick"........ i chuckled and said - I am not going to eat them all at once!!!
:-)
Sandie - guess it's better to rain now and NOT during the Masters!!
Zona - yes, this wind is really a pain!!
mary - have a good visit and drive safe..
Just Lin - howdy - hope your day is good..
IBB - poor Mr. IBB!!
:-)
Tina - The whole time I was running my errands - all I could think about was you!! WOW - again - you really put yourself out there and to you, I give.....
ReplyDeletea
STANDING "O".......
clap, clap, clap..
Thank you again for sharing....
love ya...
Hey MEK... thanks for looking... but they are the first to go out the reduced basket... if the yhave any left at all.. I got the last 2 boxes at walmart on Wednesday...so...I didn't even bother to look for anything on monday morning...
ReplyDeleteJust Lin... thanks... I know on my cable (comcrap) they have an on demand channel for CBS but I wasn't sure how to find abc or fox... thanks..
TinaHO: Hana Hou~
ReplyDeleteNow tell them the real reason. It just explains away your really bad dance moves. ijs~
IBB: Dale was blessed to have YOU as a friend and in her life. I am sure you brightened hers as she did yours.
Morning Hooters~ I was a badddd turtle again last night. Anyone wanna slap my fins?
Afternoon all!
ReplyDeleteWell the sorting of the food is done and some of the paperwork.
Tina I have been thinking about you all day. It is humbling for me to read about someone who has a challenge in life and just soldiers on because that is what is dealt to them. Kudos to you! Makes my blood pressure challenges very puny in comparison.
I have to get something to eat and then assess the laundry pile.
I was looking at Eunice and am reminded of a play activity from when I was a kid. It involved putting plastic-ish clothes on plastic-ish people. I used to call them Chloroforms but that can't be right. Anyone remember what it was called?
ReplyDeleteK'grl; were you bad in a good way, or are the authorities looking for you?
ReplyDeleteTINA: What a thoughtful blog you composed for IBB. I also appreciate you sharing your own life experiences.
ReplyDeleteIBB: I know this blog must give you some additional comfort in the loss of your friend.
TINA: Also on a lighter note, why didn't you warn me on our Arizona trip that I might have to grab the wheel? Holy Toledo...I might have been napping!
The girls and I went for their haircuts and lunch today and now they are outside sweeping my garage and porch to earn $. I will be taking them home later.
MRD is going to Vail tomorrow until late Friday afternoon for a work conference. I would have gone but he is in meetings for even all his meals so I will "vacation" at home in solitude!
MEK: Did you watch part two of Medium last night? I just love that show.
Well, I had better go and check on the "hired help" and see how they are doing.
ZONA: I would not like to be your neighbors (or maybe I would) and look outside and see you and MrZ either "swimming" around or doing rain dances. Have the police ever just dropped by?
Happy Tuesday Owls.
ReplyDeleteTina, I am constantly amazed by your writing skills and now at your willingness to let us in to intimate parts of your life. Zona is so right about your kind and giving heart. Now we all know and you can't deny it. And what a kind thing to do for IBB.
BTW, I think it is a prerequisite for all Paramedics to be cute. I had to call 911 several times for people who got sick at work and never once did we see an ugly paramedic. I think that was the start of my affection for men in uniform.
Tina, One of the comments said Eunice was having a facial. Thank goodness, I thought she was decomposing.
ReplyDeleteIBB, How perfect that you were first today.
ReplyDeleteZona, Is rain dance code for something else???
K-girl, How baddd can a Turtle be?? Should we be collecting bail money?
Mary, WB and write the damn blog!
LynnD, You also have a kind and giving heart to do so much for the food bank and the people who depend on that service.
MEK, LOL @ not eating them all at once.

ReplyDeleteBonacci and SacBarb:
ReplyDeleteLOL Turtles can be bad, but nothing illegal thank you~
Ok ate and blood sugar is back up!
ReplyDeleteBonacci Ummm I think you mean Colorforms! LMAO Tho they did have that plastic Chloroform smell.
Sacbarb and men in uniform what a visual! Eunice is decomposing? I will have to look.
Dianne will you send the hired help my way? Our garage needs a big sweep!
Eunice that is the worst spray tan I have ever seen!
Wow! Tina, that was one of heaviest blogs EVAH; it totally blew me away.
ReplyDeleteI kept thinking how awful I would find it to always have it in the back of my mind, as I went about my daily activities, that I could at any time lose control. That is an absolutely scary proposition.
Big, big kudos to you and your family. You are awesome!
IBB: Hugs to you, too!
And on a much lighter note:
ReplyDeleteCarol: LOL at your "pornish" attire!
It got me thinking... since you're an owl, and an owl is a bird, should we refer to you in the future as our "pornish hen"??
TINA!!! A beautiful blog.....thank you for sharing such a personal side of you. And I'm with ZONA.....YES YOU DO!!!
ReplyDeleteIBB - What a great way to help you see what Dale may have felt.
TURTLE - lol @ explaining the really bad dance moves!!! YOU being BAD?!!? Here's a gentle tap on your fins. :O)
ReplyDeleteSACBARB - lol @ EUNICE decomposing!!! I about fell off my chair. :O)
ReplyDeleteWHABBY - I think you're right....pornish hen.....PERFECT!!
ReplyDeleteyou have all been sweet....i've read the comments, but haven't had a moment to write back....and now i have to run to have dinner with one son and then pick up the other~ bbl~ mwah to you all~
ReplyDeletehello?
ReplyDeleteanybody here?
ReplyDeletedo I need a helmet?
ReplyDeleteOr my fin pads?
ReplyDeleteOr a rubber band?
ReplyDeleteOr a stash of porn?
ReplyDeletela
ReplyDeletedi
ReplyDeleteda
ReplyDeletedi
ReplyDeleteok back to work~
ReplyDeleteTina what a nice blog to dedicate to IBB. I guess if you want to be last today you can. I won't stand in your way. But look out for tomorrow!!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though it must be difficult at times. My sister Marilyn has epilepsy and one of my nieces has it also. I remember Marilyn fell once against the door in the bathroon. Mum had a hard time opening the door. That was scarey. The first job she had was a dishwasher in a local restaraunt and she had a seizure the first day. Never went back.
Thanks for sharing Tina. I just have one question...what the hell happened to Eunice!!?
Good night everyone!
TINA...I don't even know what to say. You never cease to amaze me. Your heart, your strength, your generosity of spirit, your creativity, your humor, your parenting and daughtering...I am so proud to call you a friend.
ReplyDeleteThen I see your pic and think of you as fiend!!! j/k!!
Soooo, I got to thinking...when you are writing some of the goofy things you do here, are you blogging while seizing????
You know I love you and am only teasing, right??
Such a gracious thing you have done for IBB and all of us.
{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}
IBB...I think one of the reasons Dale was so dear to you is because you were every bit as dear to her. She is watching over you every minute (so cut down on the porn!!)and will be just one more source of strength for you. And we will be here to offer you a shoulder or support whenever you need it or just want it.
ReplyDeleteSSSshhhhhh...I have a secret...
ReplyDelete(LYNN, turn away. scroll passed)
Tomorrow is LYNN's birthday! I think!!
MO......I think it's on the 16th....ijs!!

ReplyDeleteOh, how funny, I am still the Pornish Hen.. lol
ReplyDeleteHmmm SACBARB: Good question about the "rain dance code word"....ZONA?
ReplyDeleteLYNND: Well, I told the girls about hiring them out to you and they were all for it if you send them a plane ticket..I think they would be there by morning. Birthday...16th and counting!!! :)
SHIRLEY: I meant to tell you how happy I was the other day about your day of giving your mom the pearls and her looking for them. I think you did a great thing as well as your friend and it sounded like you had a very nice day.

J/LIN: I'm not exactly sure what he's doing..I just know TINA has special feelings for this pic.. ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG! I can't stand that ugly pic! omg!!!!!! pastey scrawny brit!~ (did i even spell that right?!!) lol~
ReplyDeleteHi all. I had a good day with my Brother. He looked like his old self. The last time he looked drugged up. I sometimes wonder if they do that. Before I left I stopped at the nurses station and asked them to pleas clean his tray table off. It was dirty and sticky. It had many nasty layers of crap!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was leaving I noticed an Elvis Impersonator setting up his equipment in the rec. room. He had to be at least 280lbs! His old van was parked behind my jeep. It had hand painted scribbled writing that said "Hunka burnin' love. The door handle was a piece of twine. I wanted to laugh, but then I realized he was probably doing it for free. Elvis must be smiling down on him :)
On a good note. Mr Mary won $2,000 at the casino. There goes next years taxes lol! He gave me a nice tip.
I am going to bed. Good night all, including all the sweet lurkers :)
ReplyDeleteJ/L: See...I toldja TINA had a special place in her heart for that pic!
ReplyDeleteMARY: I'm glad that you and your brother had a nice visit. Congrats to Mr. Mary...I betcha he's a hunka burnin' love too! :D
G'night MARY..I'm just a slow typer..lol..
ReplyDeleteNite Zona. Yup Mr Mary is my new best friend lol!
ReplyDeleteDianne - needs to write a blog - in Denver!!!
ReplyDelete:-)
Mary - have you written that blog yet??!!
ReplyDeleteMARY; You and your husband are by far the luckiest gambling people I know. I get excited to win $35..of course I am on the penny maching.
ReplyDeleteJUSTLIN: Thanks for the horray.
TINA; Yes and yes...you are a nut and I do luv you too!!
ZONA; Hmmmm, I will have to think up an idea for the raindance. I did wonder why all those fences were around your house. smooch to you...
MEK: I have lots of blogs running through my head but I am not much of a writer. I can come up with topics...you know, like a term paper. I can give the topics if someone else can write them...
ReplyDeleteIs Tug sleeping? Still hoping you will show up in Denver this summer sometime.
Tina - I vote for a party next week and Dianne can write the blog!!
ReplyDelete:-)
ZOna - can't believe you don't watch all this "crap tv"!!!LOL..
I watched Idol, then switched to the last half hour of biggest loser (and ate quite a few cookies and chocolate kisses during that hour).. and then switched over just in time to see who got voted of DWTS...... since SVU was a re-run - was able to watch "Without a Trace".......
I felt badly for the gal on Loser!!
Okay with DWTS outcome..
and, Idol, well........ I don't want to spoil anything - so i'll wait till tomorrow - but I know who I want to be gone!!!
dianne - sshhh, yes, she is sleeping right now.... she's been full of it today....
ReplyDeletelet's see - yesterday, she destroyed the garden hose, today, it was the umbrella holder under our patio table...... she cracked that thing and was in the process of making it into a MILLION pieces.. made it real fun to try to pick it all up with the wind blowing like it was.....
thanks for asking!!!
LOL....... it's exhausting........
MEK, I am sorry to say no, I am like Diane..good in thought, not so good on paper. I will give it a good try anyway.
ReplyDeleteI am REALLY going to bed now ^^
oh, and Mr. MEK has filled the holder with sand - SO, that was all over also!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteit's just same shit, different day!!
120
ReplyDeleteMary - goodnight!! and I'm amazed at how lucky you guys are at the casinos.......
ReplyDeleteI can spend twenty bucks faster than anyone!! So, I don't gamble - I'll just buy scrapbook supplies!!
MEK We're having a lot of wind here, too. I was unhappy to discover that a large branch on one of my trees is broken and hanging on the ground.
ReplyDeleteZona That position that Hugh is in is very odd. Maybe he's looking for Tina. ;)
Just Lin - how is your kitty cat??!!
ReplyDeletelol at looking for Tina!!
ReplyDeletetoo funny.......
sorry about your tree.......
125
ReplyDeleteMary You and Mr. Mary have a special touch when it comes to casinos. I wish some of that luck would rub off on me. I think I get the necklace after you. Maybe you could send me some of that luck along with it.
ReplyDeleteJust Lin - she could also send you the first 20 bucks to go gamble with!!
ReplyDelete:-)
MEK Thanks for asking. The cat is doing okay. We took x-rays yesterday (no stones seen) and took urine to culture. I have to wrap her tightly in a towel like a papoose and shove a pill down her throat. It is so much fun, NOT!
ReplyDeleteMEK: One day..you will look back on these days with Tug and laugh! I was tempted to say..let a smile be your umbrella holder...but...maybe not.. ;)
ReplyDeleteDIANNE: I have the utmost faith in you!
J/L: Hugh has a long wait then..I hope he has strong arms!
Just Lin - thanks for the update!! hang in there.........
ReplyDeleteMARY: The sweetest of dreams...and some of that burnin' love too.. ;)
ReplyDeleteZona I hope I don't offend you, but this particular picture of Hugh makes him look a bit like the Geico lizard. LOL
ReplyDeleteZOOOOONNNNAAA........ LMAO.. hey, I heard you were looking for a puppy!!!
ReplyDeleteJust Lin - just think - she can save alot on her car insurance..
ReplyDeleteZona - sadly, that isn't the best pic of Hugh out there..... maybe a pic of the new puppy that will be arriving shortly!! LOL
J/L: No offense taken..he makes an awfully cute lizard..probably has a cute lizard too.. ;)
ReplyDeleteMEK: We almost got one on Saturday! But a family came in and before we could decide..they grabbed her...there's always another day..
Zona LOL @ has a cute lizard!
ReplyDeleteI can't change the pic...TINA will be sad..
ReplyDeleteZOna - I can have a really cute puppy at your house in - oh say - 2 hours and 22 minutes!!
ReplyDelete:-)
Hey OWLETTES!!!!
ReplyDeletejust stopping by ... home from the baby shower and watched my soap, idol and DWTS results... I hated IDOL tonight... they ruined two of my favorite songs....
I just want to say thank you Tina ONE MORE TIME!!!!
like mek said ... you really put yourself out there.... and it means the world to me...
I don't know if this will make any sense or not ...
but....
now... right now... I feel like I really belong .... not like the little sister tagging along!!!!
you all mean the world to me... and I wouldn't have made it through this last year without you...
MEK: Tug will be a good dog..you'll see..just hang in there...and hide anything chewable. ;)
ReplyDeleteIBB: The very biggest {{HUGS}}..and you have always belonged..always..
ReplyDeleteZONA...Thanks.... but hopefully you all know what I mean ...
ReplyDeleteIBB~ you've belonged since the first day you arrived...everyone does.....it's their choice whether or not to stay~ Glad you liked it~ (Anoop was my fav tonight!) :D
ReplyDeleteZona~ Please change him!...and his tiny lizard! :)~
IBB - (((HUGS)))...
ReplyDeleteand - I knew that someone would ruin THEE MOST IMPORTANT FAV SONG of yours when i heard it tonight.
sorry!!!
and - IBB - I wouldn't have guided you over here, if I didn't think you belonged!!!
ReplyDeleteZona - the puppy is potty trained, she can sit, down, off - we are working on stay!!
:-)
LOL...........
Tina.. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteZona..I have to agree with the rest... I always wondered WHAT he was doing ...it's like he is floating in air... kinda creepy..
MEK... I know... it's just hard to explain... you know my low self-esteem and all...
