I caught [livejournal.com profile] eleri snooping around the secret base, and she screamed:

1.Go into your LJ's archives.
2.Find your 23rd post (or closest to).
3.Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4.Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions


Right after coming out, I have to think, hard, about where I am, why I would be on the floor, why is my shirt wet, etc..

except for the seizure reference it sounds like a couple weekends I've had before... and probably you too from your military days...

Why do I have a tattoo?

Why is everyone in this room speaking Spanish?

Why am I in Utah?

And people wonder why I quit drugs and drinking.

A very interesting description.
I had a good friend in college who is a fraternal twin, and eight minutes younger than her sister. They're both epileptic, and have seizures eight minutes apart - Marie was in PA and her sister in FL. Their seizures last almost an hour and usually put them in the hospital.
I have Temporal Lobe Seizures, brought on by mesial temporal sclerosis - the Dr. at Loring, AFB insisted my mother didn't know what she was talking about when I was being born, after all, he was the doctor and he knew when the baby would be coming, what would she know about it? I came out when she was still sitting upright, with my head rather squished up. After they took me off to clean me up, he told her "We don't think there's any permanent brain damage". Asshat.
I made the mistake of telling the Red Cross person I have a seizure disorder, and they banned me from donating blood. The tech looked at me like I was contagious. She hadn't even noticed when I had a seizure while talking to her.
