Go me! Random mystery seizure!

The scene: Elayna is curled up on the recliner reading manga. Spooky's in the chair on one side of me, Adam's on the other, and Mom's sitting at the foot of the bad. I have been struggling with my computer. Having just restarted it, very fed up, I popped up Firefox to check my e-mail. The grownups were discussing tennis. I felt a little dizzy. I made with the clicky.

And a nurse burst into the room with a look of mild panic. We all looked up, alarmed. "Are you okay?" she asked urgently.

"Um. Yes?"

She'd been at the EEG monitoring station and the alarms had gone off on my screen. Picking up seizure activity. Must have been a simple partial - the nurse noticed my hand hovering above the computer. The only thing I noticed was that dizziness. It must have been a matter of seconds, too fast for anyone who wasn't looking right at me to notice.

She scared us, popping in all frantic like that!

So I had a seizure and didn't even know it. (Goodness knows how many of these I've had prior to this week.)

I'm still a bit woozy-feeling. Nothing I'd've registered as anything *wrong*.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have produced useful data!

Now I want ice cream.
