Rollercoaster of a week
Ok so this post will come as a surprise for many of you as I haven't made what happened this past week public knowledge. This past Tuesday night I got in my car to head home quickly to change before heading to my personal training class. I don't remember much but the last thing I really remember is driving through the center of Shrewsbury and getting onto 290. After that on ramp I don't remember much of anything other than being in and out of it on the way to the hospital. What caused me to end up in the hospital you ask? I had a seizure while driving. Physically I am ok, emotionally not so much. I have definitely been on a rollercoaster for most of this week. I am not going to be driving for 6 months unless my Dr. gives me permission ahead of time to drive. To be honest just thinking about this past Tuesday has me ready to break out into tears. My goal is to eventually not break into tears but to also not let it put me down. I cant let my seizures drive my life. I need to take my life back. Before I get any farther I need to say how great my family has been and is! They have been my rock through this all! My family doesn't just include my immediate family (who I really could never say enough about) but it also includes my friends who are as close to me as family could be. What has helped me this week is knowing what some of my friends go through and still continue to run and do their best on a daily basis. I know I wont be able to drive by myself and for 6 months and I wont be able to be fully independent till then but I am working on figuring out how I can be as independent as possible in the mean time. Still figuring that stuff out and I will keep people updated as we go. I am also going to do my best to not feel bad for myself and not feel sad. I know it'll take time but I will do the best I can to keep fighting and keep my positive attitude that I have had since elementary school!
