no you're not odd Chris, I use the same testimony as I had two brain surgeries that failed and the last lead into meningitis and almost died, I've experienced every kind of seizure and they told me my left side was very slow because it is all destroyed. Now having cancer and I believe God is going to take care of it, I can better relate to others suffering with it, we may suffer now, but in heaven we will be perfect again and never suffer anymore, people are watching us to see how we handle it and either we set a good example of Christ or a bad testimony for the Lord. take care friend

Nice story

Hello everyone, I just wanted to share what happened to me a few years ago that has made me the christian I am today. I was scheduled for surgery on a wed. to have most of the right side of my brain removed. At church the Sunday right before I didnt know it but we were having baptisms that day, and I was never baptised, I took that as a sign. On wednesday right before I was rolled back for surgery I asked my sister to hand me my bible. When I opened it the first verse I read was 2nd Corinthians 12:10, and even to this day with now having a memory disorder I can still remember this verse. Its says - Then, for the sake of Christ, I will have delight in my weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions and calamaties, for when im weak, I AM STRONG!   Also after surgery there was a few verses I read that said our lord will comfort us through all our trials and we are to use that comfort we have received to comfort others. I now believe after everything ive been through and all the signs given to me that I was given epilepsy for good reason and my purpose here is to use what has been given to me to help others. Many think im odd for this but I thank God every night for giving me Epilepsy and putting me through surgery because now I know my purpose here on earth and now I have the resources to help others.

Nice poem.

I have written a number of poems about my epilepsy.  It is a powerful muse.

it's beautiful, it would go well with my painting I did for epilepsy but haven't been able to get it out there since all has happened.

In Lilac Dreams

The storm within awakens

Consciousness is broken

The brain is weak

Energy waves released

Control is lost

Physical, mental, emotional

Undue stress

Flashing lights 

Not sleeping well

A flickering flame

Heat and Smoke

Triggers are all around

They are good

They are bad

Afraid to reach out

Afraid to live

Confronted by fear

It teams with ignorance

Everyday

Everywhere

We are never alone

In lilac dreams

by,

Patty Guilmette

 

Please comment on my poem.  My quest is to spread awareness through my poem and hopefully get it as the official poem of The Epilepsy Foundation.  Thank You and God bless.

We spoke with the surgeon Wednesday, it is definite the kidney has to be removed ASAP. He asked about the insurance which I don't have. But I checked on my retirement pay from my job in the last seven years and I can get it with just enough to cover the surgeon and the other doctor, but the hospital is a different story. We talked with the woman who handles finance cases, she applied for me to get medicaid, she said I probably will not get it at first, but she said they wouldn't refuse someone with cancer, so if all fails they will cover that. The doctor said my blood thinner is where it's supposed to be, what the plan is, is I stay at that for two weeks, then I go totally off of it for one week, then they do the removal and three days after that without it before they start it again with stomach injections and pills to get rid of the blood clot. The Lord has blessed with our needs for this month through care of friends and people. It isn't known how long I will have to go without work. A lawyer is trying to get me SSDI but again we have to wait two weeks before I have to fill more paper. I have kept a record of all the seizures and hospitalization for the last seven years along with medical records so that helps. If you would like to stay in touch, go to www.caringbridge.org/visit/richarddavis1/journal  and I will keep updated there. Thank you for your prayers and care.
