Brief update on my science project. A month of a few numbers and smiles.
- 452 total number of seizures since this all began with the rate reducing – positive
- 203 days since my first seizure – that’s life
- 31 the lowest number of seizures in a calendar month – positive
- 16 uninterrupted days where I did not have any type of seizure – positive
- 15 affected days where I had one type of seizure – positive
- 13:14 the ratio of physical seizures to absence seizures – positive
- 3 months in a row where the total seizure count has now consistently reduced – positive
- 3 the clear definition of the types of seizure I experience and allowing me to have distinct and focussed strategies to mitigate these – positive
- 1 burst ear drum – well that is just life
1 holiday coming up in two weeks time – gotta get those rays.
This would suggest to me that my own very personal approach to all of this is resulting in the outcome I am aiming for. Which is clearly, for me to control ‘it’ and not for ‘it’ to control me. To manage my seizure activity, allowing me to just do ‘things’.
I will be updating the website in the coming days with this months update. In the interim though, I wanted to share this. To re-affirm to everyone who may be having a difficult time that there is always sunshine after the rain. What happens to us does not define us, it is how we deal with the adversity of life which makes us so much very human. Live life, you are literally designed as a complex adaptive system for this purpose. Go for it.
