I have not felt myself these past couple of days. Today, that fact was really driven home. My husband and I are in Florence, Italy, a vacation that shortly followed a few days in Germany. I am a bit overwhelmed, but have tried not to show it. Today we were walking down a busy cobblestone street and I felt lightheaded. I almost told Hubby, but decided not to. Then when walking from a sidewalk to the street, to cross it, I fell. I only remember a blur as that happened, but wasn't unconscious. My knee got scraped and my ankle a bit twisted. It took a couple moments to realize what happened. Hubby helped me up and a nice Italian restaurant host told me to sit at the nearby table for a bit.

Honestly, I suspect I had a focal aware seizure. I haven't shared that with Hubby, though. He just thinks I fell by accident. Just before it happened I had been feeling strange and lightheaded for between one and two minutes. In the past, I received a diagnosis of this type of seizure, but hadn't had anything like it for some years. I take anticonvulsants that clearly prevent them, but this may have been a breakthrough. I'm okay, but a bit shaken up. We still have almost five days left in Italy, before our return home.
