Five adults around a boardroom table sharing cookies, tea and information.A Service dog snoozed
beneath the table,
close to his owner.
Service dogs for epilepsy
one topic of conversation.
Details of life with epilepsy.
Opening up to each other with questions and ideas.
New diagnosis
Long lived experience.
Desire to be free of stigma.
Medication,
surgery,
triggers,
life style
self awareness.
Normal folks with different forms of this invisible neurological abnormality.
What feelings came away with me at meetings end?
Sadness that my family,
Sadness that my family,
including my young sons,
had to witness my seizures.
Gratitude that my form of epilepsy is easily managed.
“Feelings are much like waves, we can’t stop them
from coming but we can choose which one to surf.”
~ Jonatan Mårtensson
