Re: [epilepsy] Re: Relationships and Epilepsy



 When I was married to my first husband life was he-- . He would leave me alone in stores whenever I would have a siezure.He and I worked at the same place and one day I had a huge one that I don't remember a thing but my pants were wet due to loss of bladder control and he wouldn't take me home to change clothes even though the foreman said he could. He dropped me off to have my 2cd child alone (c-section.) He never went to doctor appointment and he didn't come to my brain surgery or to the hospital when I was in for close to 4 months before the surgeries.
 But now my new husband is the best! He is my rock! My eveything! He stays with me and talks to me during my siezures and He takes me and stays with me during dr. appointments and visit during hosp. stays. God blessed me when he gave me a chance to be online the nite I met David! He even treats my children better then their own father and that is whatthe boys have said not me.

While I was married my husband was always there then he was called
by my daughters. At that time I had grand mal szs and was out. I
usually woke up in bed where he had carried me.
