It's a good thing that Larry has an appointment with his seizure doctor on Tuesday the 24th.
He just had another seizure -this time, it stayed in his hand/arm. Freaked him out though - he was just finishing up his cardio when his hand started the "two minute warning" pulsing.
This one lasted about 3 minutes, and I got most of it recorded for the doctor, just in case.
While I'm not freaked out, I'm concerned. Why is he having seizures, while on pretty high doses of meds?? Hopefully we find out more on Tuesday.
Go Jones!

Happy Birthday Sister of Mine :D Soon you'll be old, like me!
I do not have triskaidekaphobia - fear of Friday the 13th. I think it's a pretty cool day :P
However, this one was not as good as it could be.
Larry had a full body seizure today - the first one since August 2014. We don't know what caused it, but it was a long one too.... over 8 minutes. The poor guy was a bit freaked out (wouldn't you?)
but, he was paying attention to me - which helped. I was talking to him, and he said "will you please stop talking??" and I said "no" and carried on.
I talked him through the seizure, and even had time to talk to N - his rehab assistant. They had just about finished the first half of his therapy when Larry said "I can feel my hand pulsing"... which caused the velcro to fly, I tell you! I don't think that his Saebo has ever come off so fast!
I felt a bit bad for N - she'd never seen a full body seizure with Larry before. A hand one, yes, but full body - nope. She asked if she needed to call an ambulance - I said "only if he loses consciousness", which he didn't.
His OT called up just after the seizure ended. She missed all the "fun" :P
