I hear mixed messages from Jae about his epilepsy. It's severe enough that he feels best seated and near the driver in case he has a grand mal seizure, yet it is also inconsequential enough that he does not wear a medic alert.

Yeah, I can totally understand the desire to be seated looking at the risks and balanced with the needs of others. I don't understand his specific need to be close to the driver though.

The driver may be able to give assistance in the event I have a seizure, or - if the bus is moving - more aware of what is going on and swifter to call others to help.

Why should I have to give my money to any particular foundation? I have an ID bracelet which I purchased at my local pharmacy.

Is there info or a contact who can quickly provide the info about what to do if you are having a seizure?
 
I think some of you are ganging up on jae. Seizures can be triggered by different things in different people. Sometimes high stress is enough to bring one on. Medications control it for the most part but not always and there's just no telling for sure when or why a seizure might occur. the person I know has them around sleep, something related to sleep cycles, but to have one while awake, if that is a risk....let the man have a seat. Having witnessed several grand mal seizures, I can tell you they are scarey and a person is at risk of serious injury or worse if one comes on and they are not seated and lose consciousness, so are people standing closeby if one were to fall onto them. So, if jae feels safer being seated and close to the driver if he is stressed or over-tired or anytime, then so be it. If there is a risk, for jae, of one happening anywhere, then on a moving bus makes sense to be extra cautious. He's being responsible on a bus. He can guage for himself what he needs. On a particular day he may need it more than someone who "looks like they might". As for whoever suggested he use a wheelchair, that was mean. I don't think that's even a common thing to do, and why suggest it to jae. I think just to be mean. It's not an easy condition to live with, and I think some people here could use a bit more compassion. There are reasons to call people out on behaviour on a forum but picking on Jae's epilepsy is brutal no matter what.

@Pr. Jae , I am curious as to how you define disability as opposed to disease.

People would do well to be more aware that a disease can be disabling, but a disability is not a disease. a medical impairment can be caused by disease, like genetic or viral, or by an accident causing injury, for example. A disability is a state of being disabled by something. The social model of disability says it's the way society is structured and how it responds to impairment, to diverse ways of being in the world, is the disabling factor. And this makes sense in the context of discussion of Jae's epilepsy, and actually, the discussion itself.

as for getting a seat on the bus...if you feel like you need one for legit reasons ask for one. Surely somebody will get up...it's an honour system, there's no time nor point in arguing who needs it more.
 
All kinds of breaks with reality ...

In virtue do real people see such things if perceived unseen and thus something to put down as it doesn't follow the roués?

According to fixed roués common people are not supposed to think ... that 6th sense ... comes out of nowhere according to some that believe the mind is nothing ... they haven't encountered it yet ... take de 5th for example ...

Takes a break, like god in a long rest in heis own fog after what de mutter did toeM?

O'dat lucky ole sun ... if heed only bring down a cloud 've my own wit a silver lining ... shekels?

Would there be a stroke of reflection ... sort of Cana in old tongues ... a bit strange to those that oppressed ole things ... a general put down of mellowed spirits? Be drunk whether on poetry, unheard-unseen whines, or virtue unseen Tous!

Did you know tous was a connected to de loups and Nous sis in de roués ... data's de Law! Kinda 've silver chalice ... a spark inside can folk us ... thus de population moments in Bazaar marketplaces ... that's Eire ...
 
Bazaar places ... nothing stranger than a mind that can exchange an emotion for thought ... comes with time ... taemaeus ... and when it befalls you ... it could be heaven --- chicken little? Or hee hoo took off ... in a fluff or flutter?

Did you know the ʄ(luff) ... the function of "luff" is the leading edge of a sail ... sometime a luve taking off and being replaced with a thought thereof? Word is funny, thereof, as a god of icon of intelligence ... love of word and the dis entanglement of ID thereof ... a mire sign laying there in the san ... without, rye as a Jae byrd!

Read sales in the sunset ... did you buy in ... take a rest! Like a period designates the NDs to something ...

Kimmio , as you know it was me that used the word wheelchair in my post. I did NOT suggest that he get a wheelchair. I was asking if he used one for fear of falling when walking? If not, then, what was the concern re standing on a bus. Were there conditions on a bus that would make Jae more likely to have a seizure.

He later gave feedback that he felt safer if he had a seizure at the front of the bus.
 
What of the people seized in the back of the bus ... dark hysterics? I feel faint at humanities lack of appreciation for all ... as when God stood back and said creation was good ... we obviously Mrs'd something ... conjugal Joies?

Thus much of eternal is out there ... :ROFLMAO:-in on ...

God is an odd comprehension for many ... know? Yah's ...
