Scary...

This weekend started out normal, but ended well scary.

Hubby and I had gone out Saturday night and since I was driving I literally had one drink and 3 jello shots then drank water the rest of the night until we left at 1am.  I went to sleep about 3am and it was off to dream land.

Sunday I woke up to the dog barking and my leg gave out and down to the floor I went.  My ankle was hurting and the next thing I know I'm over come with a heaviness and sweats.  Then my husband and yelling at me to wake up and asking his friend to call 911.  I was sweating something aweful!  Apprantly I had blacked out and had a seizure.  You know the eyes rolling back and my toungue was sticking out.  He got me presentable before the perimedics arrived because I could barely tell what was going on.

I'm taken to the hospital where I'm pumped up with fluids, taken for a CAT scan and blood taken for testing.  Sugar level was fine, my blood pressure was low and I was dehydrated (remember the night before I had drank nothing but water...at least 4-5 bottles).  By the end of the night my blood pressure was back to normal, they had hydrated me, and all my tests came back normal.  Now they pump me up with 1000mg of Kepra (anti-seizure meds), restrict me from driving and 2 days off from work until I get clearance from a Neurologist.

Great....all of this with no insurance.  How am I going to do this?!  So there it is.  I'm ok now and feel almost normal, but i'm scared at the same time because trying to figure out how to afford the Neurologist and the tests they are going need to do plus knowing that this is not something I can shrug off.  I'm sure its nothing since the CAT scan came back fine, but what if this happens again...what if the next time is worse?

So much to think about.....
