word out I have to think of a word that is close to the same thing or means
the same. When I think of it, it usually just takes a few minutes to realize
the word I was wanting to get out.I don't like crowds where I have to talk
to a lot of people either. They make me nervous and I have had to many
seizures in places like that.I had surgery for the seizures, it cut the
number of seizures down, but I still have them enoough to worry about the
crowds and to stay out of them. I always have somebody with me, I fell safer
that way.Well I hope this helps. Take care.
