hi cyber cyblings

i sent in that news article about epilepsy for two reasons
[two that i know of, anyway]

one:
its subject matter is a brain chemistry disorder
my favourite subject

two:
i was once diagnosed as having epilepsy
i suffered one 'grand mal' seizure when i was about 12 years old
thrashing about, chewing on my tongue, memory loss
the whole deal

i was subsequently medicated to the hilt for a few months
such that i could barely propel myself
from one class to another
in high school

i was later taken off medication
declared only 'slightly' epileptic i.e. with a certain 'threshold'
and sent on my unfettered way

[injections always made me 'pass out'
in a faint which was determined a 'petit mal' incident]

so that single 'grand mal' attack
remains a bit of a mystery
unless you count the fact
that i was lying on the floor in front of the stereo
playing elvis' "g.i. blues" album
over and over and over
at full volume
at the time
