barking is normal... for dogs

[mayalaen]

After my mom had her seizure today, she said she got a REALLY strong urge to sit on the edge of the bed and bark, but not like “bark bark.” She said the noise she wanted to make was “app app,” but do it like a dog barking.

When she told me about it, she asked if it would’ve scared me. I said no, and that I probably would’ve just tried talking to her and asking if she was able to stop and just wanted to do it or if she couldn’t help herself. I probably wouldn’t have gone straight to “yeah we need to go to the hospital” just because of a desire to bark. Hell, I wanna bark sometimes.

Seizures do weird things to your brain.
