Is this really a seizure?
My mom's friend lives with us and she has a lot of medical problems (had a stroke, bladder problem, can only use one of her arms, and drags one leg to walk) and last night I was home alone with her and I walked into the laundry room where her bathroom is also and she was like laying kind of sprawled out on the toilet and I thought she was asleep because sometimes she takes a lot of prescription drugs and she gets really out of it once in a while, and I tried waking her up (which took like 1 minute to get her to respond) and she would mumble kind of how she does when shes had to many pills and yell at me to leave her alone and stop yelling at her (i was definately not yelling). I tried waking her up about 4 different times and the same thing happened only one time she got up (like she was sleep walking or something but she didnt walk anywhere) and I was constantly asking her if she needed help and she would retort rudely no but it was kind of like a mumble and her eyes were like 1/2 open. And she stood up for lke a minute and then sat back down but she was totally hunched over with her head almost touching the ground and was asleep again. And after that when she yelled at me to leave her alone I just left and went to bed. And like 30 minutes later I went to check on her (she was in the bathroom about 40-60 minutes) and she was hobbleing around in her room and still out of it, but a lot more conscious. And this morning she was saying it was a seizure? But I don't know. Can you talk during a seizure and and then fall back asleep and remember bits of it the next morning? It was really scary and she's being kind of mean to me when all I was doing was trying to help her out.
