How many fingers am I holding up? Who is the President?
The wrong answer to those questions is a quick reflection on whether or not there’s cause for concern about concussion or brain damage.
I’m not making fun of anybody with brain damage. I’m trying to figure out how to help somebody with brain-damage in real life actually. But it occurred to me this is a basic reality check.

My son’s friend had frequent seizures growing up.
One day driving home from Costco I passed a woman seizing on the sidewalk. I pulled in to a driveway, brought her water and sat with her. I felt completely helpless.
Can’t imagine. Be well.
And yay us, we know the right answer to question 2 
my first seizure until I was 25, my youngest(now 18) was 2 months old. As long as I don't miss any meds and sleep well, I am ok. I don't have any warnings, no aura's, etc. I have Tonic Clinic(Grand Mal) seizures and just come to after a bit feeling like I've been beat up and memory loss, it's more scary for the person witnessing the seizure.
That was very kind of you to help the lady, so many people unfortunately wouldn't want to get involved.
I watched a lady have one at the bank a few years ago, she was on the ground and turning purple, luckily we were next door to a volunteer firefighter station. She needed oxygen.
My last seizure, my oxygen went down to 90, which was scary. This was on the 4th of July, I have recently moved and the new doctor thought it would be a good idea to try new meds on me. I have had 3 since January, I have a new Dr and back on the one med that has always worked.
Yes, thank God we do know the president question.
My first seizure, we were at an event for new kindergarteners. I was standing there listening and my next memory, someone asking if I knew where I was...I was stunned that I was in the hospital.
Side note: the president question, I got wrong the first time back in 2003. I said, George Washington, rather than George Bush the first time they asked.
Thank you again.
