The Wags dinner was held last night. Other than having to abandon my very uncomfortable shoes half way through the night it was very successful.
After meeting my friend Pam and The Mother, we went to the hotel room set aside for the volunteers, and I got changed into my posh dress and the aforementioned painful shoes. We were briefed in what to do: me and Pam were in charge of the raffle prizes and we set to work.
Before dinner the chief executive of Epilepsy Scotland made a speech and introduced the video in which I was featured. It was incredibly embarrassing, I couldn’t face watching it, but I heard myself and I didn’t recognise my voice. Unfortunately I recognised what I was saying, so it must have been me. It seemed to go down okay, and no one threw any tomatoes at me, so that I’m choosing to take as a good sign. Mike, the cameraman has said he can give me a copy of the video, so I might be able to put it up here. I’ll need to watch it first though and see if I should subject everyone to it, haha. I’m still scared of those virtual tomatoes.
The dinner went well, and all the comedians were really good. In fact, the whole night was a success with £35,000 being raised for Epilepsy Scotland. Roll on next year.

Me and my epilepsy
Hi, I'm Jane.
I was diagnosed with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy when I was twelve years old, and since then I have been involved with Epilepsy Scotland in raising awareness for the condition.
As an extension of my work with Epilepsy Scotland, I decided to start a blog on my experiences with the condition. My aim is to help people with or who know people with epilepsy, and also teach people who don't know a lot about it about some of the difficulties I personally have come across in dealing with the condition.
I however am not a doctor and so I have to be very careful with what I say. I can't give out advice, I can only comment on my own experiences with it, so I'm sorry if I'm not much use in that respect.
I thrive on comments however, so feel free to leave a question for me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible. If you don't want to leave a comment, but would like to speak to me, my email address can be viewed through my profile.
Thanks for visiting my blog and I hope it can be of use.
