Seizures
What is a seizure? Well a seizure is a change in the brain caused by an electrical disturbance. There’s several kinds of seizures like the grand-mal, petit-mal, and epilepsy. Based on the type of behavior and brain activity, seizures are also divided into two broad categories, generalized and partial also called local or focal. Classifying the type of seizure help Doctors diagnose whether or not a patient has epilepsy.
Generalized seizures are produced by electrical impulses from throughout the entire brain. There are six types of generalized seizures. In a partial seizures are produced by electrical impulses in a relatively small part of the brain. The most common and dramatic generalized convulsion is also called the grand-mal seizure. In this type of seizure a person will lose consciousness and usually collapses, the loss of consciousness is then followed by body stiffening, then by violent jerking and after the person will go into a deep sleep called the after seizure phase. During grand-mal seizures injuries and accidents may occur like tongue biting and urinary incontinence. Epilepsy is caused when there’s a sudden burst of electrical energy in the brain.
When a person that has seizures the brain is not considered a normal working brain or healthy at times. Someone that suffers from seizures will never be medication free they will always take some kind of medication. Seizure disorder cased by electrical discharges from brain cells, often happen in the cerebral cortex, it’s not a distinct disease. Seizures are either secondary to a particular brain abnormality or neurological disorder or are said to be “idiopathic” without any clear cause. Is said by a neurologist on “neurology channel. Com.”
There should be more information on his disorder and also more studies on why people have this disorder and to study the brain a little more that’s what I think. Yes the brain is one of the most important origin in the human body, and also the hardest origin to study. So I ready hope that in the near future there will be more answers to a lot questions that have to do with this brain disorder.
Seizures is a disorder that effects the brain in more then one way, neurologist should study the brain more closely so that they could fine a more normal way for people to live when they have a seizure disorder or epilepsy. Even though neurologist study the brain they can’t pin point the exact reason or what causes the brain to have seizures. Some people are born with this disorder and it’s not know why it’s just a malfunction of the brain when other start to suffer from this disorder after having some head trauma.
Living with someone that suffers from seizures makes it hard at times. Can’t always do what we want we always have to see if it won’t effect my daughter in anyway and I have to always remember to give her, her medications. Even when she’s playing I always have to keep an eye on her so that she doesn’t fall and hit her head because she might not have a seizure right there and then but she could have a seizure hours later. Lack of sleep will higher the risk of my daughter having a seizure. Stress will even cause her to have seizures and she’s only ten years old and she will have to live with this disorder for the rest of her life. Her seizures were brought on after being hit by a truck when she was three year’s old and she had lots of head trauma. I’m very lucky to still have her around Doctors didn’t think she was going to make it, and when she made it they told me she will have learning disabilities. They were also wrong she does very good in school she’s in GATE. The only thing now is that she suffers from seizures and takes medication on a daily basis.

Taking Your Blood

Have you ever had a bad or a scary experience having your blood drawn?

Are you just afraid of needles or the sight of blood? It’s normal to be scared once

and a while. But I’m known to make it a fast, easy, and painless experience. Just

let me tell you, it doesn’t take a lot but only about three easy steps.

First I have to get my things together like two cotton balls, one alcohol wipe,

a needle, one bandage, a syringe, a tourniquet and the blood tubes you’ll going to

fill up with the patients blood. Oh yeah the last thing you need is a willing patient

and a chair to sit them in. Just make sure that the patient is sitting so just in case

they pass out, yes it does happen at times but no biggie they will be just fine in a

second or two and give them some orange juice it will make them feel better.

Then the next step is to locate the vein you’ll be drawing from put the

tourniquet tight on the arm and then with a quick move of the hand insert the bevel

of the needle into the vein and there you go you got blood and if not just move the

needle a little and then you will get some blood. Once you get blood then you’ll

start to fill the tubes you got ready earlier. It could be from one to maybe about

four tubes you’ll be filling. It only takes about two to three minutes. Once you are

done then remove the tourniquet.

Once you have removed the tourniquet then you will pull the needle out

quickly and place a cotton ball on the injection site and just put a little pressure to

stop the bleeding if there is bleeding. Once the site has stopped bleeding, then put

the bandage on and let the patient sit for about a minute or two and then they’re all

ready to go and you are all done and ready for the next patient and start all over

again. There’s nothing to it just in a day’s work.

So when you go again to have your blood drawn don’t be afraid just look for

me and if I’m not there then just remember we all try to do the draw as fast, easy,

and as painless as we can. If you still don’t feel comfortable having your blood

drawn then just close your eyes and count to five and then it will be all over.

The Craziness Inside The Purse
Looking into the purse is like looking into a different damnation. At times somewhat scary but safe and at other times just plain boring. I couldn’t live without a purse because it’s the only thing that’s able to carry all my items like make-up, cell phone, keys, gum, hand lotions, wallet and other goodies without a complain. With just one look into the purse and you’ll be able to see all the different colors, smell the different scents, hear some sounds, and fell different textures. Like I said before it’s one crazy world inside my purse.
You’ll be very surprise with all the different colors from all the different items in it , like black for the wallet and cell phone, gold and silver for keys and coins at the laying at the bottom, and white for all the different receipts and paper just taking up room. So messy at times that it’s hard to fine anything or see the bottom. Some things that are never missing from the purse are hand lotions, lip gloss, a small bottle of perfume just in case or gum for after meals and at times some candy for in case you get a sweet tooth.
When you open the purse you could smell the cent of gum or candy and at times of both which at times it’s a good smell but others not so good. The smell of mint and fruit punch don’t mix so well so it makes the inside smell some what weird not bad just weird. But the scent of lavender and vanilla hand lotions is a pretty good smell when put together. When it doesn’t smell like candy or lotion you’ll be able to smell the wild cherry or watermelon lip gloss or perfume. The best smell inside of any purse is the smell of cash in the wallet.
The more things you put into a purse the heavier it will start to feel, and a heavy purse is not fun because it will start to hurt your shoulder and who likes that. The inside of the purse fells soft and sleek, and also rough. It’s also noisy, yes I said noisy a purse could be very noisy. If you listen very carefully you would be able to hear the clinking of the car keys, the bouncing of the coins, the ringing of the cell phone, and the rubbing of the paper laying at the bottom.
Purse’s come in different shape and sizes, colors and forms. Purse’s do help us carry our things, but not only our things but also our secrets. Every female should at least have two to three purse’s in her closet. So you could change it depending on your mood, outfit, outing, or just for fun. Well it’s time for me to go out and look for a new purse.
