Seize the day!

I have seizure disorder and apparently, unchecked, it can cause stroke-like symptoms. I think I have had this for awhile, but we had no idea what it was. We're still sorting the exact type, but we're getting there. I'm shopping for id bracelets and such and I will post as soon as I get one. The one I want is soooo awesome... I can't believe I'm this excited about a medical ID, but alas I am. 8D

God is good. He has given me so much strength through this. My fiancee, Dave, has been amazing. He was such a wonderful caregiver through all of this, as for awhile I couldn't do the simplest tasks. My loss of independence and loss of speech was the most difficult to endure.

I am looking for different options available to me, and it's pretty exciting. There is a lot of information out there, but i'll admit to a lot of it being pretty scary.

I'm sorry I'm not here much.

I plan on checking in more, as this journey has morphed quite a bit.

I feel i have had this disorder and diabetes for quite some time. I think this is the time in my life that I have such a strong support system and I am better able to endure all of this. I am working daily at being more peaceful and I'll be honest, dealing with all of this is so scary. But it gives such a beautiful meaning to living! I am so thankful for every single breath. Every moment is much more cherished in my heart and mind 8D.
