It’s been forever, I know. I’m just hopping in after a lovely pillow fight to say that June and July were a swirl of confusion.
I spent a lot of time with doctors trying to figure out why my body and brain have started to go completely whacko. My doctor thinks I’m suffering with mild epileptic seizures.
We are treating it with a ketogenic diet at this point. I’m still scheduled to have more tests this month and I may get more answers then.
The bottom line is that when I eat certain foods, it triggers something inside my brain and I can’t do very simple math (97-3) or remember important things like who the Vice President is. When I have these episodes, I also have trouble talking, remembering things, or communicating at all. As you can imagine, it’s very frustrating.
I’ve been eating this particular way for almost three weeks (I’ve slipped in and out of ketosis by accident as I’ve discovered which foods are okay) and I’ve only had one episode during that time. Before the diet change, I was having the episodes almost daily.

So, I just can’t get into a writing habit here at the moment. It may pick up once we start schooling again in the Fall but we’ll see.
