    Tough topic covered well and in an upbeat way. Except for the shattered face part- that was hard to hear about. Alisa has a funny way of telling a story. I am an epileptic, thankfully well controlled for decades, but its nuts how this malady is perceived (and misunderstood) by many. Not that long ago, epileptics were believed to be possessed and locked away. Thanks for talking about this.
