the other day I had a grand mal seizure and in the mits of it all i left my home. I got in my car and drove about a mile up the road, i pulled over and then travel about another mile in a half by foot. I ended up breaking all the bones in the top of my foot. I have no memory of any of this. It was about 530-600 in the morning when this all happened. I am completely freaked out by this and if anyone has any info that could help I would apprectiate it.

What you had is known as post epileptic automatism (PEA), and is not uncommon after a Grand Mal seizure.
The link below is to the records of a court case where PEA was accepted as mitigating circumstances in a manslaughter case

I have never had one but I do have a friend how gets them, some times he'll get extremely violent and not remember any thing, and some times he'll fall to the ground and roll into a ball and just twitch uncontrollably. we ave to make sure his head is safe or he could get seriously injured
