I am home bound, (by protest).. lol..., but learning to accept it. I try to remind myself daily of the things I am greatful for. I try daily to be productive even if it is one task. I try to not daily describe my current feelings, pains, ailments , fears and frequentcy of seizures. For me the constant talk can be crippling in itself. When someone asks how I am I find at least one positive thing to focus on and not reply on my health status. Then it helps me not feel consumed by it. Honestly, I know people don't need to hear the daily negatively and it's not healthy. Today I accomplished cleaning and organizing a "junk drawer", I made some fake flower arrangements for my house. I want to get some excercise but head really dizzy so stretching is my goal.

my family drives me everywhere because they are really close to me. every couple of days my gma or gpa would drive me to the day care center. if i am stuck, i would do online games, video games, or music. my advice is 'take it one day at a time', 'everyone has a disability, its just other are more severe' and 'your disability doesn't divine who you are'.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Hi there, I'm writing a blog on finding meaning in one's life, would you mind if I quote from yours? So much of it would be helpful to others.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member and @A MyEpilepsyTeam Member i have a 3 year old dog i got as a puppy and my family is training her to be a service dog. if you get a dog while it is young it is easy to train. it is just time consuming.

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member That's absolutely awesome! Service dogs really can turn people's lives around, and you're living proof. What you're doing could be so meaningful to so many. Good for you!
