For a bigger part of mylife I've had to wear a seizure helmet. Since 2009 I have baught about five different helmets including the most recent one that I have now. Most of the ones before were foam rubber or leather. The most recent one is a hard shell helmet with a foam rubber liner on the inside with hard shell ear covers.
The reason for the hard shell up grade was because aboutt a month a go I was shopping a Wal-Mart when all of the sudden I passed out on the floor. The next thing I knew was that I was waking up with a manager telling me that I had a seizure. He told me that I had fallen pretty hard, and man did I feel it the next couple of days. The next couple of weeks I was to scared to go anywhere by myself . This is when I decided to try and upgrade to a hard shell helmet. My reasoning was that this would be more durable, and it would make me feel more safe. I will begin to tell you that seizure helmets are not cheap. This particular helmet cost me about $470 thats including the shipping cost. Being someone who works in fast food, this was not easy to come up with the money. On the news I saw stories of how some people were able to get help using croudfunding services. One particularly was GoFundMe, so thats what I did I set up a page and in about a month I was able to get my helmet. I am so thankful that a lot of my friends and family could help me raise the money for my helmet. Now my brain feels a lot safer because of it.
Most of you who come here and read my blog know that I have seizures. The cost of me trying to keep myself healthy and safe can be rather expensive. Well just last week I passed out at Walmart and had a seizure I woke up later and the manager was standing over me and told me not to move and that I had a seizure. Thank God I had my foam rubber helmet on. I did however drift in and out of consciousness. The next day I had extreme headaches.
Now that I'm 40 I find that I have a need to be safer and protect myself fom injury. I have been wanting for some time to have a hard shell helmet, I believe that it is much more durable and will protect my head better than a foam rubber helmmet. I have beenn looking and pricing them out and the one I need with all the options I want the cost is around $470.00 and that includes shipping. I am in desperate need to be safe, I have set up a GoFundMe page for anyone who would like to help me. If I can I will try to keep everyone updated on how much money I have raised.
I am so thankful that a lot of my friends and family could help me raise the money for my helmet. Now my brain feels a lot safer because of it.
