That will be solved soon as my employer is working on plans so I can work from home. Hopefully they will get it figured out soon. I get bored easily...all I can do is wait.
My late mother had Epilepsy. The first time I saw it was when I was a kid. She hid it well from me. I lived in a tiny town house, a shoe box, and the first time I saw her have a epileptic seizure was after my late adoptive father died a few years earlier. I don't remember what I was running up the stares for to the top floor, but I could imagine, it was because I wanted food or toys or something. Her fellow teacher Judy was in the room, the door was closed, and I had no clue what was going on. All I remember was going up the stares, turning the corner to the master bedroom door, opening it up, and seeing my mother jerking around on the floor between the foot of the bed and the chest of drawers. Looking back at it now, my mom most of the time felt it coming on, so Judy laid down blankets and pillows to insure her jerking would not cause injury.
But not knowing anything at that age, walking in on it was frightening.
