Market Town : Kirsty and Simon : Living with Epilepsy



'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.'

Never think we are lucky until we see things like this. It puts the world into sharp focus.

Love the shot with the dog.
