Seizure

An electrical impulse in my brain gone awry.

A jumble of incoherent words heard by friends.

Will I die?

My speech comes back.

A memory gap.

But not a stroke.

 

In the hospital it comes on again

With no pain.

The words are clear. I feel no fear

Just frustration that people can not hear

What I want to say.

 

How long will I stay

A cyborg on a hospital ward

Tangled in wires?

These fires in my brain

Will they return again?

 

Discharged with a diagnosis of seizure

With more pills to add to my store.

Will the electricity in my brain

Misfire again and seizure end in …

      Thank you, Liz. I went into hospital on Sunday afternoon after suffering a seizure whilst walking Apollo with my friend’s dog. They did lots of tests and proscribed medication and I got out of hospital on Monday evening. I’m now in the process of getting used to the medication. Thank you for caring.
