Seizing Life, Dec 2nd 2020: Mason, Mark, & Micah - part 10
Seizure Salad (~Fustercluck Epilepticus~)
A salty, sometimes irreverent account of Micah‘s surprise diagnosis with epilepsy; how it would short-circuit his world, plus the efforts to re-wire his mind (...Brain surgery?!?...) so as to build a new life. ”Seizure Boy” courtesy of Watsky and used with permission.
