Severe Seizure

Yesterday at work I had a severe seizure.

I was working on creating several bios for an upcoming job application for Prometric, when I suddenly had a seizure.  I remember feeling it coming and feeling week, then suddenly I can barely talk and the entire department is gathered around me.  Apparently, I passed out for about 40 minutes.  During that time, I tried to stand several times and kept being sat down by my co-workers.  An ambulance was called and they nearly took me to the emergency room, but I came to and started responding.  It still took me 10 or 15 minutes to be able to talk, but it was clear that I was recovering.  I was fed a string cheese and a granola bar to help raise my blood sugar, which helped somewhat.

When I finally was alert enough to be able to communicate, I realized that I was no longer sitting in my chair.  Ian was called, since he is my emergency contact, as well as Margot and Dad.  Eventually I recovered enough to be able to talk freely and I was sent home.  In order to keep me safe, I was given a ride while one of my coworkers followed with my car.

I'm probably going to stay home tomorrow in order to recover.  Luckily, my supervisors are really understanding.  One of my bosses is hypoglycemic and suggested that my blood-sugar may have dropped and caused my seizure.  Regardless, it's time that I see a specialist to try to get to the bottom of this.

(By the way, I'm feeling fine now.  I'm really tired and my shoulders are super sore, but otherwise I seem to have recovered.)
