About an hour or so after posting about the Fed rate cut and yesterday afternoon I got whooplied by a hell of a curve ball. I was setting up the Committee hearing room for our hearing this morning when I can only guess I began to feel bad… really bad. Thankfully I was able to fire off a text to my Operations Director and Staff Assistant
Seizure coming in hearing room meds in desk
By the time our Legal Assistant got to me I was down at the front of our hearing room. Where he did everything you are supposed to do in making sure the area around me was clear. Turns out our Staff Assistant went running out of the main office yelled at him in the hall to go watch me and she grabbed my meds, my Subcommittee Staff Director, and our Assistant Comms Director.
Since this was a full blown seizure I have a pretty empty/sketchy memory of yesterday afternoon after the rate hike announcement. I was able to get the meds I needed and after a few minutes was helped back to our Operation Directors office. Our Staff Assistant went and got me food while our Legal Assistant stayed with me till our Operations Director got back. I found out this morning I was super talkative and engaged during my postictal phase none of which I remember.
My Committee did a fantastic job and I knocked it out of the park. This is the first one I have had at work that I was not able to stop/get a hold of in a while now. When people ask me why I do what I do and I say my coworkers this is a prime example of what. It’s hard to find good people now a days but here I have found them.
