All I want to do is sleep

Well, it's been a week since my last seizure. I seem to have sufferred no severe aftereffects except one. All I want to do is sleep. I would happily lie down anywhere at any time and go to sleep.
  I know that a bunch of people that read my drivel are medical types. My question is: Is it from the seizures or just from an increased depression?
  I do seem to cry a lot more for the ridiculous. I have no control over it. I see or hear something and I tear up. I don't feel especially depressed. I can cry about something while at the same time satirizing it. I've given up on being selective about what I watch or listen to. I'd rather watch 'On The Beach' and cry all the way thru it than miss the movie. (One of the things that set me off is seeing acts of extreme courage.) I don't know why watching a well shot documentary of Yosemite does me in. All I Know is that it started after I woke up from coma in 2008. The shrink said it was probably because of hypoxia and a few dead brain cells. Opinions?

An Opinion Poll

OK, here's the deal. Yesterday I wrote that I had a seizure last Wednesday. The seizure itself isn't very important, been doing it for 22 years. But, it's the first time I came out of a seizure hallucinating. Is that a good or bad sign?

My Circles

The situation: 2 (?) days ago I had another seizure. (Epileptic due to TBI) I was taken to the hospital and injected with Ativan. That evening I was let go. I take Dilantin (700mg daily) and was at the high end of therapeutic levels. I'm also a category 3 kidney patient. I was on dialysis because I am allergic to Heparin and found out the hard way.
Dilantin works thru binding to protein. My kidneys are screwed so I spill protein. By spilling protein I spill Dilantin. My levels drop so I go Grand Mal. Upon going GM I am taken to the hospital and automatically injected with Ativan. The only way to get rid of the Ativan is to pee it out. Peeing it out I spill protein. By spilling protein I spill Dilantin. My levels drop so I go Grand Mal. Upon going GM I am taken to the hospital and automatically injected with Ativan. The only way to get rid of the Ativan is to pee it out. My levels drop so I go Grand Mal. Upon going GM I am taken to the hospital and automatically injected with Ativan. The only way to get rid of the Ativan is ...
I'll be back soon. Gotta go pee.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Very short today. Something I adopted a while ago but never explained.
Never leave loved ones without kissing them good-bye, even if you're angry. You never know what'll happen 10 minutes from now.
