Good morning, my name is Lee Anne

My seizures are getting worse. I have developed, Complex Partial, Grand Mal and Petite Mal My sons and husband both have been noticing that they are going stronger, closer together and having more during the day. Depending on the weather, temperatures, and due to the surgeries Some times I have to lie down to rest It upsets me because, I can not get done what I need to do to. It doesn't bother my husband because he knows that there will be times, I can't it. Thank God, he understands. He understands because he meant me in high school. When, we were reading of Mice and Men. Teacher asked if anyone knew what NI meant. I said yes. And told about my seizures to the class. That is how we meant . Like I said, he wants a home health aide, but I don't I guess, I am afraid of some one coming into my house that I don't know . Can someone please help me understand why? And how it will help,
