I Live in a Third World Country Called Idaho

 Hello everyone. Today I had three really bad seizures and had to have my Mom use emergency injections on me. She has to give me one in each thigh and it hurts like a mofo. Each needle has to stay in me for ten seconds to deliver the emergency medication. I have been down all day due to this and my legs hurt like hell. It takes me a few days to recover from this on top of the seizures themselves. I'm lucky the emergency meds worked. Sometimes they don't and I have to be airlifted out by helicopter which takes about 20 minutes to get here. Meanwhile, I am still having seizures, losing oxygen to my brain. I don't have the luxury of the type of ambulances and immediate response here that I would in Denver. The ambulance here can only offer me oxygen and most of the time they just sort of toss a mask at me so that it's near me and tell me to try to get some of the oxygen. They're afraid to get near me. I have had concussions in dealing with the emergency care here because they don't know how to deal with me. That is why it is REALLY important that I get back to Denver. Where I am now is literally like being in a third world country regarding health care. I am not kidding or exaggerating. I could tell you a million stories to back this up and if you want to hear them, feel free to ask. To date, there have been 533 visits to my GoFundMe site and only five people have decided to donate. If each of those 533 people had put in JUST 5 or 10 dollars, I would be either so close to my goal I could touch it or OVER my goal. Please. I'm asking for your help in whatever way you can.

There are amazing incentives up for grabs on the GoFundMe site or you can just chuck some change in to help.  Even if you can't afford to help, please forward this on to someone who might be able to. Epilepsy is not spoken about at all and yet it affects millions of people worldwide with no cure in sight.

Please share on your Facebook, your Twittah...anything. Once I get back to Denver, I will be able to start writing about my adventures again and give you something to read. Let's pull together!

Dear Readers, I Need Your Help

I know I don't post often and yet, for some reason, you still read. For that, I thank you. I just don't have much inspiration right now because I live in a very dull place. It's not inspiring. They don't even know what Daleks are. I mean, come on.
So, I need your help and anyone you can gather together. Let's get an army together. I'm posting a widget thing here for your perusal. I need to get back to Denver. To my life. Where all the funny, awesome things happen that inspire me. But also for better health care. I'll leave it up to the widget thing to explain. (I hope it works. I'll test it out to make sure you can see it. Quality control always!) Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for your help.
