Market Town : Simon & Kirsty : Living with Epilepsy

[J A Mortram]

'If I'm away working for the day all I can think of is Kirsty, if she's had a fit or fallen. She's fallen into the bath before when it was filled with water, thankfully I was home. She's had fit's in bed at night, I wake up covered in bruises.

We've been out, dancing but the lights have caused a seizure and I turn around and she's on the floor. I've had fights, a lot... people say things, nasty things. I've been told to put her in a home.

I've come home sometimes from work, Kirsty had a fit whilst I was away and she's not been here, they took her to a Hospice. She didn't know anything about it. I was terrified. I'd never put her away though, she's my wife, I love her. The only place she's going is right here, home. Our home.'
