Broncos38 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 She tries to explain to me as to why her generalized seizure happened. But she can't I got flustered with her because I get confused with myself. I cried cause I get so overwhelmed by that experience because I never saw nobody with a seizure before in my life. She doesn't know how to explain it but she shows me by videos. And I'm always ending up asking questions to doctors because I don't like how I learned things in my way. It's hard to accept my learning style. I feel stupid because of this. Link to post Share on other sites
MidwestUSA Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I'm in the medical field. It's not necessary that you completely understand the workings of a seizure. It's more important that you're there for her. Ask questions like 'what do I do to keep you from harm while you're having a seizure?'. 'What do I do for you after the seizure?' (Sometimes they have to sleep). Make sure you know her medication schedule. Be there. Give her a hug right now and tell her you're trying to understand, but you just want to make her feel loved and you don't have to understand every detail. Cook a nice meal and go get her some flowers. Hang in there. Link to post Share on other sites
d0nnivain Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 You are not stupid. Medical stuff is complicated. Perhaps you can take some of the written & visual info she has given you to someone who better understand your learning style who can help put it in terms that make more sense to you.
