Another aura/ seizure to upset my day

My Wednesday morning began at 5:30 a.m. by getting out of bed to stretch. After doing so, I had then shaved before strapping on my ankle weights so as to work my legs. At 6:30 I had then gone out into the kitchen to eat some fruit and to drink my hot cocoa. After doing so, I then had a bowl of hot cereal. Once I had finished eating, I then returned to my bedroom to take my shower and to get ready for the day ahead. At 7:00 I then had some head pain in the back of my head. Where my concussion had happened. At 7:15 I had grabbed my lunch and knapsack and out the door I went. While I was on my way to therapy, as I was sitting in the United wheelchair van I had an aura. I was thinking that it had to do with this mornings headache I had. I had arrived at WestSide at 8:30. I had taken my things to my locker, then went back to the lobby to sit. As I was sitting there, my vision then went blurry. I then began to feel sick to my stomach. At 9:30 my vision started to clear. Although it was clearing it still had a little blur. I then became a bit tired. At 11:00 I then met with the nurse. Brenda then took my blood pressure. That seemed to be o.k. I had told her the symtoms I had this morning. I then met with Brad. We spoke about keeping track of daily events. I then went to the lobby. Piper my case manager then came to sit down next to me. I then went back to meet with Brenda. She and I filled out a seizure form. After doing so, she had taken my blood pressure. At this point my legs were feeling week and I was depending on my cain for support. At 11:00 my legs were a little stronger. My eyes were still a little blurry. I had tried to sit in on a group therapy I had at 11:00 Brain Injury Education Group, But I became very sick feeling as I was doing so. I had felt like vomiting and had a headache to boot.The receptionist had called United to see if they could get a van to pick me up to go home earlier. I had sat in the lobby to wait. A United van had shown up at 12:00 to take me home. I had arrived home at 1:15. I had eaten my lunch, taken a shower, then found myself in bed under my sheets sleeping by 1:50. I did not wake until 5:00. I then went out into the kitchen to have a bowl of chowder I then brushed my teeth before calling my grandmother to tell her about my day. I then pulled up my blog and began to type.
