New Years was alright up till a certain point in the night. I'd rather not say who but around 1am somebody had a seizure and we were up with him till 3-4am. I've seen it a hundred times in Zoie. It's not that different in a human actually. It was scary but I've delt with it before. Physically the same exact thing happens in a human that happens in Zoie (a dog) when she had seizures. He didn't fully understand what happens during a seizure. The best way I could explain to him was that it was essentially an electrical storm in his brain neurons firing without purpose randomly and violently. I explained that like an electric shock, no matter how small the more it occurs the more likely it is to burn the receptor resulting in a variety of issues ranging from loss of vision, taste, motor skills, hearing and even brain damage. We need to get him to a doctor soon and on a phenobarbital regiment.
Inspiration can sometimes come from weird places. The day after I got an image in my head of a photograph I needed to take so last night Kirnan and I worked on "The Seizure". I wanted to give the feeling of an electrical storm in the brain. I don't know if I accomplished that but I'll let you be the judge.
