You know you have Epilespy when...

You know you have epilepsy when there are AT LEAST two (or four in my case) cars in the driveway and you don’t drive.

You know you have E. when...someone asks you if you're alright & you didn't know anything was wrong.

You know you have epilepsy when you find yourself eating lunch for the second time in a row.

You know you have epilepsy when your dentist worries about losing his fingers...

You know you have epilepsy when you can decipher the following: I was dx'd with JME by my epi with an EEG, (had MRI and CT), Rx was Lamictal 100 mg p.o. tid, which controlled the jerks, absence, SP's, atonics, and GTC's...

You know you have epilepsy when holy water burns you. (that's for Sis. Hem...)

You know you have epilepsy when your boss doesn't know whether to call 911 or a Priest.

You know you have epilepsy when your Meds cost more than you make in a month.

You know you have epilepsy when you take meds to help the meds you take.

You know you have epilepsy when upon having a burst of energy you're asked "are you having a episode?"

You know you have epilepsy when...you have a seizure in your sleep and smack your spouse...and they ask ...was that a spell or are you still mad at me ?

You know you have epilepsy when...Sleeping till 3:00 pm is normal...yet not sleeping at all is too.

You know you have epilepsy when you hear ten times a day from your loved ones…did you remember your "pills"

NOTE: Epileptics use humor to cope. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. This list is provided my friend, Paula Apoca, who lightens the load for all of us E's.

I LOVE CHESLEY. That's all. ;-)



And I love Kat and Liz for giving me the best birthday present ever - Chesley.

Pre-Mission Trials!




Sweet Birdie is doing so much better! Thanks for all your prayers and well-wishes, she's doing GREAT and ready to take off for her mission. Due to great family & great neighbors, she's doing awesome! Thanks!

What was the Month of May?


BoxElder Bugs, planting "Early Girls" and "Celebrity" tomatoes, 9 vases of Purple Tulips, missing Miss Loree-Lou & Darla, buying a little car (motorized wheelchair), best birthday ever, wonderful mother's day, Magnesium Citrate adventure, Okada family research, 2 bad news days, irrigation water back on, snow completely melted, London visa application finished, spring cleaning, Mission shopping, 2 family members dental work completed. All in all, it's been a fairly good month. Spring has sprung, and I'm hopeful for some wonderful family-filled days ahead. Now if I can just get rid of the Box-Elder Bugs
