I'm so glad that things are getting back to normal!! His response is exactly what I was expecting him to say (exactly what my fiance would say if we were in the same position). I'm sure that now you two have been able to talk about this without all the negativity, things will definitely start getting back on track. Maybe he could go with you to your appointment in October (I'm so sorry they rescheduled it!! That's awful!!). Also, I'm sure you both have looked online about what to do in case another one happens; maybe going over that together would be helpful. I did find this page, though

I realize you probably don't have epilepsy, but it has first aid, and also talks about keeping a journal, which maybe be helpful for you when you do get to see a doctor.

There's also this one

But like I said, you've probably already one some research. I don't remember which, but one website I looked at said a change in diet can help control epilepsy in children and suggested an Atkins diet to help adults.

I'm so, so, so, sooo glad things are getting back to normal for you both. It sounds like you were both just scared, depressed, frustrated, a whole range of emotions that were getting in the way of communicating. But now that you're communicating again, you'll both be able to support the other again, and things will start evening out for you. I'm so happy for the way this is turning out!!
Thanks for this!
