On Monday, January 20, 2014, I had a seizure and I spent the night at Saint Alphonsus in Boise. My strokes happened two years ago, and I had no idea that a seizure would be a possibility afterwards. It would have been great to have forewarning because this was a shock emotionally and physically. Seizures are bouts of disorganized electrical activity in the brain. They can happen spontaneously (primary seizures) or from brain damage (due to stroke). Seizures come in different flavors. Last week, I lost consciousness. In May, I had an "incident" that resembled a seizure. I never lost consciousness, and I described my symptoms in detail. I had an aura on my right side, and it seemed that my right side vision was disrupted. It almost seemed that my right vision was a memory like a two second delay. Even though I described that vividly, the doctors did not seem to know what happened. Instead, they prescribed anti-seizure medication, Keppra, even though they said it...
