Hate to say it but almost all epileptics need a friend or two ~ so I did the friend thing a few times ~ old family custom to do this for folks with brain issues, retardation, illness ~

Not to digress but one fellow who came across our lives was a photocopier salesman who had his first epileptic seizure riding a bicycle on a sidewalk at rush hour near a busy street.

He said he spent several months in the hospital ~ on dilantin ~ then a predecessor to depakote (does same stuff but pretty rough on your system)

Traffic is a really tough environment for a seizure.

I hope he’s ok, now. Thats what scares me the most,,,having one while crossing a street or having one in the shower. The last one I had I had walked to the grocery store and had it there. It could very well have been while crossing the street on the way to the store. Busy intersection and I could have been hit by a car or truck and been killed.
