Re: Epilepsy
Having had my first experience of seeing a young man having a epileptic seizure , i must admit it was very very scarry, as i have never seen it before.
He had fallen in the middle of the road having a seizure, i was driving on the opposite side of the road coming towards him, i could hardly believe as cars just drove around him starring out their car windows and people just carried on with their business......i jumped out my car and ran over to him, he seemed to just be coming out of his seizure and very tierd and dazed, i just cuddled him and talked to him, asking if he needed a ambulance, or taking home. He seemed very embarrassed and thanked me and just wanted to go on with his business.......but for me i was devastated, i was so upset for him, i am still crying 2 days later. I know he deals with the seizures probably on a daily basis,and just gets on with them... but as i have never seen this before i felt so upset.
I don't know this young man, but he was amazing, so calm and together, i was like a nervous wreck.....i suppose i have led a very very sheltered life, in my own little world, but this young man has truely opened my eyes to life....He was inspirational, truely the most amazing young man i have ever met.... i am now trying to learn more about epilepsy and hopefully soon maybe i can do some volunteer work.
