Going to NY for thanksgiving this weekend :D Should be fun, anybody wants to meet up for coffee?

Also, I'm going to see the doctor today and he'll (hopefully) take me off the pills I've been taking for the past 6 years. Soon that epilepsy thing will be behind me.

Any chance you'll be in or around West village/columbia university(morningside heights)/harlem/lincoln center?

I'll be in NYC all weekend and monday with my parents and I don't think we have any set plans yet. I can take the subway pretty much anywhere I guess :) Some time away from the parents will be nice too. Mini meetup?

I'm down! There are some absolutely amazing coffee spots all around my music school's neighborhood from hipster to high-end (125th&broadway down to like 100th), I mean it's pretty easy to get around Manhattan via subway so we can meet downtown as well. I wonder if anyone else is in town.

Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy New York, will you be in NYC? Also, good luck with the doctor, that's a long time to be on medication, I bet you're sick of it. My neighbor's daughter just had several bad seizures and they're putting her on a bunch of medications. She's having insomnia etc and she's no longer able to drive etc. It sounds difficult and scary, I hope you get some good news elizabeth!

Yes NYC.

Just came back from the doctor, I'll be pill free in a month :D And working on finishing my driving classes. The no driving definitely sucked, by now most of my friends have a license and it s a bit shitty to have to ask my parents whenever i need to go somewhere the public transport doesn't go. But eh, at least I'm never designated driver.

This happened to my roommate. Had a huge seizure in his sleep. He understandably wasn't a big fan of sleeping from then on. Also he couldn't drive for six months, or drink. It was a shitty experience, and the doctors never figured out why it happened. He's lucky he only had one, and it never recurred, and now he can ignore it. But shit.

You actually had me checking the calendar as I coulda swore it was October and Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Care to explain a little further?

Canadian Thanksgiving is the 13th of October this year. I celebrate neither so it just means long weekend for me :)
