The roads are very slippery here, with thick ice. Leaving church this morning, with my 2 young girls, I fell. Not only did I fall, but I fell *very* hard onto the back of my head. I couldn't even get up for a couple of minutes afterward (despite my girls scream/crying). We got into the car okay, though I was in a lot of pain. We're out in the country, as is the church, I had to drive. I have no memory of the drive. I remember driving to the first road and turning, then a wave hit me that I didn't know where in the heck I was going. I pushed myself to just stay on the road. The next thing I knew, we were home and Kyra and I were in the kitchen with our coats off. I was feeling scared and my head was/is killing me. I didn't know what to do. The person who called (my dad) is what brought me to, I think...as I have no recollection of anything before. I am freaked out! I've been seizure-free since July. Those seizures I did have following surgery were slight auras and nothing else. To jump to being totally unaware (no aura) is frightening. Especially because I'm working as a CNA. What in the world do I do?? While I'm sure the fall brought that seizure on, I am afraid of what might happen next. Any ideas, thoughts, or feelings? Heather

I am feeling better, thank you :) My headaches have eased to occasional (and certainly not as bad, liveable). Thank you for the well-wishes! Heather *refractory seizure surgery on left temporal lobe 03/06*
