HI Betty,
When I was in the hospital in 06 for my 2nd VEEG I had a sz the2nd day in. I had 5 szs in 6 days. NO FUN!!! I was slowly tapered off all my meds and told that with in 12 hrs activity would start. HE was right becuase that night it did. I had in total 2 staring szs the first night, and then over the couse of the nest 4 days I had 3 Major Complex Partial szs that had to be stopped with Ativan.
Thereis NOTHING to do in there but twiddle your thmbs. I broght stuff with me but felt so youcky that Ididn;t care about any of it except one book and my music. My neuro made me stay up for 48 hrs straight one time, have strobe lights every afternoon, and have different stressors , but it wasn;t nessary becuase aia szsd on my own with out allthat junk.
There rule was they had to see 3 szs before they released you. I had 5 and they fought wit me to keep me in there for 3 more days, and I said now he saw 5 adn the ruls was 3, so I am out of here, and Igot teh nurse to release me back home.
I wish youwell adn hope that things go your way so you can get out of there. Some times it takes a few days for the drugs to get out of your system you will sz don't worry about it.
I used to make a living working in a EMU, but had to quit when my ep got out of controladn my kids. Ep got worse adn then my VNS surgery came along and I just can't work anymore.
GOOD LUCK!
Nancy
Take what you do and do your best with it!!!

Hi everybody! I'm just lying here waiting to have a seizure. This is my
third day on the monitor. I'm getting frustrated to say the least! When
you want to have a seizure then you can't. I hope I will soon. I miss
my little girl. Thank God I got access to a laptop....hehe. Now I can
communicate with the outside world. Thanks Trish! That was the first
thing I asked for. I guess the doctors will be around soon. Maybe if I
stare at this laptop long enough today I'll have a seizure. I'll try to
keep you posted. Take care!
Betty Gail
