invisiblejungle, buttons27, willie33, kristof, and Pliko, please forgive my replying to you all at once...New users are limited to five posts in a 24-hour period, so I'm having to use mine sparingly. Thank you all for your kind welcome, it means the world to me. Not that I'm a shut-in or disabled, but I live alone, and my interactions with the world at large are limited to the unemployment office, the grocery store, and the gas station, so making new friends on-line is a new and enjoyable experience for me, I'm humbled by your reaching out to a new person.
invisiblejungle, you couldn't be more correct. I suffered a seizure at the end of September (when I lost my job and my health insurance coverage, and could no longer refill the 90 @lpr@zol@m per month I had been prescribed for fifteen years (60 per month two years prior to that)), one moment I was replacing the mailbox post in front of my home, and the next I woke up in an ambulance with an EMT asking me questions. Upon arriving at the hospital I found I had a broken nose, a broken wrist, and three broken ribs. My next door neighbor witnessed the entire thing, she tells me I simply stiffened, hit my right arm with my left fist several times, then pitched face first into the street, it's a wonder I didn't do more damage.
The attending neurologist at the hospital recommended Di@zep@m as an anti-seizure measure when I told him I refused to take an SSRI (they make me feel like a zombie, I've been on Zoloft and Lex@pro in the past, and simply could not stand them), he is apparently not a fan of Clon@zep@m. Of course, when he discovered I had no insurance, he didn't bother to write me a prescription.

A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.
