I read this and my first thought was "I don't know anyone with Epilepsy!" Which I think is an absurd thing to focus on. It's funny the loops my mind will twist itself into trying to rationalize the ridiculous guilt and stupidity I go through on a regular basis.
I found the blog, of all things through a podcast. The author of that blog wrote in to "Stuff to Blow Your Mind", a podcast I listen to; and the URL was read out in the comments section. As far as I can tell the blog is dead, in that there have been no posts this year, 1 in 2012, and the vast majority in 2008; but I'm still going to go back and read through it.
It was pointed out to me, after I'd started looking at it, that the author actually lives in Troy, not that far away. Interesting the way these coincidences happen.
Reading through the beginnings of it, though, I realized that it did remind me of something important - of how my father was handled after his car accident. I don't remember how much I went through it, but he blacked out, and it was never explained. They went through neurological studies and sleep studies and medical exams and scans and whatever else, and in the end just said "Okay, you can't drive for six months, and if nothing else happens we'll move on."
Kindof scary, really.
