Two years ago on April 20th, I “came to” while I was being guided to a stretcher with the remark “Hey guys, what’s goin’ on?” in a very calm and somewhat lackadaisical manner.
The paramedics started to explain what was going on and I was asked a couple of questions, for which I got one wrong, but not really a big deal. I understand that if I regain consciousness and there are paramedics around, and I’m standing, and I’m being cooperative, and I walked myself down the stairs…I’m probably OK and the whole ambulance ride is a formality. I could see that my wife was a little distressed, so I knew something happened.
Turns out I had a grand mal seizure. The doctor said that it was likely caused by general stress, the car accident I was in a few months prior, or from a bug bite which I got when I was working in the yard. I was told that a single seizure in a persons life is not uncommon.
I mention this just as a point of reference, a starting point so to speak. This journey that I am on, and will take you with me, will be weird. It will challenge your understanding of yourself and those around you. It will be confusing, and may not particularly like what I have to say, but I challenge you to suspend initial disbelief and just think…
