Or maybe a volcano: smelling the sulfurous fumes that signal imminent pain. The moments immediately preceding a seizure are some of the worst because you completely lack control but are still cognitively present enough to have that be painful. You know that it is up to the whims of mother nature (?), God (?), a higher deity of your choosing, whether you will plummet into the hellacious alternate world that are the hallucinations of seizures. There is nothing worse than the visceral fear that comes before the world falls out beneath your feet--in a personal disaster like a seizure or a natural disaster like an earthquake or a volcano. I'm sorry to hear that Calvin had another seizure. I will send good energy in your direction.<br />~JuliannaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
