Back to Work, No Sleep (isn't that what you need for epilepsy?)

     Maternity leave was over.  Thank goodness the child care center where I worked had an opening for our daughter when I went back to work.  Work was nice and hard.  This was actually the first time I drank coffee.  Do I want cream?  Do I want sugar?  It was nice to talk to people again.  I missed my little one.
     Now it came down to seeing my neurologist.  What do we do next?  Is he going to mention surgery again?  Probably.  I still just want to try new meds.  Here we go again.  First finger to nose, thumb to every finger, walk on tip toes.  Now close your eyes and touch your nose, hold your palms up with your arms out and eyes close, and lastly walk in a straight line heel touching your toes.  Wait a minute, I'm not driving and I'm not drunk.  Oh, that's right, this is the ritual at the neurologist's office.
     Which medicine do you think is best?  So let me understand.  I have to work off of my medicine I'm taking now.  The same time I'm working up to the doseage I will be taking of the new medicine.  I better write this down.  Look at all of the side effects.  Insomnia??  I thought sleep was supposed to help epilepsy? That's just a possible side effect.  It doesn't mean you will actually have insomnia from the medicine.  I hate side effects!!
