Raleigh

She woke up in the hospital. Dammit. Dammit.

Three months and no seizure. And here she was again.

“Miss Gibson? You scared us there.” A nurse. A nurse was talking to her and taking her blood pressure. She was in the E.R. She was in a hospital gown. Shit, had she been driving? She started to talk and felt a sharp pain in her tongue.

She’d bit her tongue. She looked down. Her clothes, had she ruined those?

“Did I crash my car? Did I hurt anyone?” She asked the nurse.

“You had a seizure sitting at a table in a restaurant,” the nurse explained to Raleigh how she got there.

“Thank God. Okay, thank god. Did I?” She figured she’d lost all bodily control based on the way her mouth felt and the hospital gown.

“Don’t be embarrassed. No one cares about that. It’s okay honey, the medic alert bracelet did the trick. The waiter called 911. Dr. Hardy’s on the way in here actually. He insisted when we called him.”

“Thank you. Can I have ice chips?” Her mouth was swollen and she was parched.

“Right there next to you, do you need help?”

Raleigh reached over and with shaking hands operated a cup and spoon. The task was small and but it was a relief to her to do it. She could hold a spoon. She could feed herself.

The little things were back to being in the forefront. When you lose control of everything control of a spoon is a victory.

Then the moments before the seizure came back to her. Mace, her fling, the one who’d helped her forget that this could happen, just for a little while, had dumped her. She took a few deep breaths.

The pain of the moment was sharp she remembered that. But now she was left with an ache. She felt hollow and hopeless.

“Well, it’s been three months. Not bad?” Dr. Hardy walked in and lightened her mood a bit. He was a kind and familiar face. He was the person who had reassured her parents that she could live a normal life with epilepsy. Normal with modifications and precautions. She was working so hard to achieve that level of normal.

A year ago it was Dr. Hardy who explained that a blow to her head had caused the condition.

Ever since he worked with her to try to manage it, but the words she did not want to hear were on his lips.

“Refractory. Don’t say that okay?”

“Okay. How about we talk options here?”

“Other than drugs?”

“We’re going to try a new drug, first of all, it’s a clinical trial I think you’ll be really perfect for this category of anticonvulsant.”

“Okay, you’re not saying what I know is next.”

“Before we do surgery or any implant I’m going to make you change your diet. Major change.”

“Really?”

“Yep, you’re going to start this new medicine. You’re going to promise me to eat only things on this list and then we’ll see.”

“I’d had three months.” She tried not to cry, but it came out.

“I know. That’s pretty epic as the kids say today.
