Where's Cajuneer?

I cant blame them. Some of these dumbasses here just attack people and call names all the time. They are so partisan it is sickening.
But they deny the partisanship. Still tell him to refrain fromm saying it if he later offers apology. Conviction for their word is not too sound. Just want to get involved.
White and I did. But, if you need detail to follow the conversation, you may want to start making notes of old exchanges. How would you like me to elaborate in the future so you may get involved in everything going on? If you are going to ask me to recap everything I respond to, you can forget it. If you can stand it, I will certainly consider excusing you from participating in every exchange on the board. Just accept it and move on and you will not get them twisted to tight.
I'm not sure what part of LA. Cajun is from, but the SW parishes got a lot of rain and wind from the two incarnations of Harvey. My sister used to live in Lake Charles, they claim it's 9 ft. above sea level, but it's nothing but flat salt marsh for fifty miles down to the Gulf. When the water comes up in that country it takes a long time to go down. I heard a BBC reporter in Lake Charles describing the waves on the lake as "like the raging sea" when it made second landfall due south of there. As someone who used to live in Houston, I'm stunned by what I'm seeing there.
I haven't been around this place due to being sick. I had my first seizure in nearly 12 years, three plus weeks back, and it was a dandy. I haven't felt like doing much of anything until recently. The one silver lining is I don't have to do any of the driving to the home games this season. I'm not allowed back on the road until Feb. I'll be the coot going up 79 in the back of a pick-up in a Barca-Lounger.

Damn Mike. I have a family member living with us who suffers from seizures and that is some scary stuff. Hope you feel better and they get your meds right.
I broke some bones in my left foot back in April and put on more than a few pounds, close to 25, casted and hobbling around. The dosage was a short due to the weight gain is the neuro's guess. I saw him two weeks ago and levels were good again after an increase in dosage. I see him again towards the end of this month. If the levels are still steady then, given my history, he may let me back behind the wheel before Thanksgiving.
Getting the weight off is always the problem. It goes on so easy and enjoyably.

Good luck to you. Those seizures are a *****. I thought we lost her to them once. Scared us pretty bad.
Ha! still have a sense of humor. Hang in there buddy. Do everything they tell you plus a little more. You'll be good as new.
What can you do? I got my wife this last time when she got me up and moving to head to the hospital, I was staggering to the car and asked, "You want me to drive?" I don't remember much else except her saying "Get your butt in the car.", until I was sporting one of those classy backless outfits they give you in the ER, being wheeled to x-ray. It must have been the breeze that brought me around?
Dave, my last one was so bad I had mini-stroke due to it. I spent a week in the hospital after that one, but that couple of days of not knowing if it was for life until I started get some movement and strength back in my upper extremities was something I wouldn't wish one anyone. Five days later I walked out the door of the place. Except for feeling like I'd been run over by a bus I was getting around pretty good. It took me a while to get full strength back in my left shoulder and arm but other than that I was good.

That is so scary my man. The worst part of seizures from this side of them is there is nothing you can do to help. Obvioysly its worse on your end. My sister in law had one and we were watching tv downstairs she has had several through the years but this time she fell and we didnt know anything had happenedbit my dog went apeshit ala ole yeller and I ran upstairs to find her down with her head pinned between the wall and her chest. Her face was blue and her lips were purple. I was almost sure she was gone. I yelled her name and slapped her a few times and I had straightened her out to start CPR when she rebooted and she was like "what are you doing to me". That stuff is scary and I will say a prayer for you tonight. Laying in a hospital bed not knowing what is gonna happen is a scary place and not realky having feeling/motion would have to be worse. Hang in there and I wish you all the breast.
Dave, I appreciate the thoughts and prayers from you and the other fellas.
What happened to your SIL is similar to what happened to me when I had the mini-stroke. I went to bed early. I've got a bad habit of wrapping up like mummy in the blankets when it's cold and it was mid-Feb. I had a nocturnal seizure just after dosing off. My wife had no idea anything was going on until she heard a loud thump from upstairs when I flung myself from the bed to the floor. The neuro at the hospital guessed I'd seized for around 45 minutes solid before I hit the floor. The inability to move during the initial stage of the seizure due to being bundled tight in those blankets caused a huge amount of muscle damage and my BP to shoot through the roof.
I was lucky my wife is a RN and knew what to do. I remember trying to get up and my arms not working, then the EMT's arriving and struggling to get my oversized butt down the stairs. I'd been putting in 70 hour weeks, along with hauling the youngest kid around when the wife couldn't. Lack of sleep is major seizure trigger for me and it got me.
The funniest thing about the aftermath of that seizure, if there was anything to laugh about, was the Doc gave me a new seizure med with "no side effects for most patients". I wasn't one of them. I got home and I was watching the BE Tourney. Syracuse was playing it's opening game w/ the WVU game to follow. I remember looking at Boeheim and thinking,"Jim's looking a little more beaky than usual?" Then there was a long shot of the Syracuse bench, everyone on it looked like they had beaks! That's when I knew that med wasn't for me. I knew things had looked a little odd since I started on the stuff, but after the beak incident I was done with it.
Now, enough about me, has anyone heard from Cajun?

Mike....I pray for the best for you. Years ago.....my son started having seizures suddenly out of the blue in his teens. Thankfully they were able to get them under control with medication. They stopped the meds after a couple years and he has not had any more seizures. Sorry...I did not see you post earlier as I stopped checking this thread after I posted.
