Grumpest Rumpest

Here is something you don't read about often: the mood / personality changes associated with seizure disorders.

(Does NOT effect everyone.)

Some go wild and hateful, while others become the most generous and loving person you have ever met. You can't predict them, and can't stop them. It goes along with the brain misfiring.

I can't use Weslee's massive mood swings to accurately predict a seizure's entrance, stage right ... ... but it definitely indicates an incoming ... something. 

My sweet young man becomes a cussing yelling grumpy tazmanian devil. 

Truly.

Then, a seizure, or cluster of seizures will rise up anywhere from a few minutes to a couple of days. That is when I need my books and art the most. To kinda hide while intently listening for seizures.

If I am lucky, a partial resemblance to my sweet boy will come back soon after. But honestly, I think the most thoughtful, caring and kind son is gone forever. It greatly saddens me.

But this personality transition happens AFTER his seizure clusters too.  Um... like today. I guess it was completely my fault when I asked him to empty the dishwasher and take out the trash. A humongous to-do. Thankfully, when he calmed down, he apologized and gave me a big ole hug.

I have heard of some people never reverting back to who they were. I try, but can't imagine.

Just my thoughts.
