My freind had a Seizure when I was Driving

[Chris Decker-The Wild Rover]

its 5:01am EST. me and my two freinds just came back from the concert of the year (The Slackers in NYC, Duel sets and the lead singer of Leftover Crack singing with them) and i had dropped off my other freind at his car that was at a local grocery.

Not even 2 minutes laterI'm driving down my other freind goes

"No.........No.......NO.........NO!" and i thought He was just reacting like he lost his wallet. and he tells me "I'm about to have a seizure".

To say i was completly frightened and scared for nearly my best freind, bassist, and songwriting partner was an understatement. there was about 3 times driving home after the seizure had passed that i though he was dead. I kept talking to him making sure he was awake. and he was so it was that was good.

I finnally got him to his house where his folks were waiting cause I called them, and it was really emotional for me, I didn't cry as i left by a cry now a little writing this.

Such a contrast one minute everythings great a AWESOME concert, than we almost died. I hope he's fine throughout the night. I think he will be cause being epoleptic he has dealt with this before. But I have only heard about him having them, never seen. VERY scary. I hope he'll be alright


sorry Its just that its 5am and theres no one to talk to this about, so i needed to vent my feelings somewhere.

Interesting, how do you know when a seizure is coming? I always thought they were unpredictable like heart attacks. Nevertheless, best wishes to your friend, hope he recovers in spades.

To answer your question about knowing, my mom's an epileptic, and always knows when hers are about to hit. She says it's a common thing, kind of a sixth sense/defense mechanism deal I think.

I think it's common with many people with neurological issues, though.

I've had a device called a shunt in my head since I was three days old, and one side effect is temporary loss of equilibrium. I usually know when it's coming thanks to a mild headache on the right side of the back of my head, kind of feels like someone is tapping me with their finger.

Damn, that's pretty full on. Hope you're both fine.
