Seizures...

[dilly]

I don't know why, but people keep having seizures infront of me. Seriouly...

this was thge second one, in as many months.

This time, On the bus, some guy was int he middle of a serizure as i walked on. No one knew what was going on, He was slumped downi n his seat. i didn't even know what was going on till i hard the tell tale bubbling sound from his lips and he started to go headfirst intot he floor. i stopped him and slid him onto the floor, turned him over with the help of another gentleman. and yes, i did ask him first if he needed firstaid, No response, So i assisted him.

the jo0ys of having someone look right up at you who is a full grown man, prolly 30-40 age range, and have that look of innocence as they look right through you. it's heart tearing. But i kept babbling at him and telling him what i was doing till the fireman and ambulance got there. Gave them a Quick summary report. They checked his pockets, and found he does indeed have a history of serizures. He takes medication for it.

so Greg/Craig whereever you are, I hope your safe place now. and take your medication on a regular basis. :)

Your gaurdian angel on the bus.

Thanks fiddle! We really do, and bus drivers should really be required to take firstaid courses. I found out that the city bus drivers, are not required to take firstaid courses at all. Even witht he phone for emergency situations, it's not enough.

Oh, wow. Thank you so much for helping that man when everyone else ignored him. Raymond's on seizure meds, and the two seizures he had before he was diagnosed and got medication still make me cry just thinking about them. I have a secret terror that he'll forget to take his meds or they'll stop working and he'll have a seizure while he's alone somewhere.

i can totally understand that, The first guy was with his wife when she had one. He had no idea what was going on, or what was happening. Seizures can be scary if there is no one around to put them into recovery position, or if he has the lesser one where he wanders and picks at his clothing, no one to guide him nad watch for it.

oddly it's didn't really bother me as much as the first one. i knew what was going on this time. but it's still chilling none the less.

I think for a lot of people it hits home in the manner of "oh my god that could be me so easy" along with the helpless feeling.
After my head injury I had med controllable seizures for a few years.
the people who are willing and capable of helping are most awesome indeed.
