An update about my neurologist appointment.
Well, I went to the doctor's today. It was very interesting. There were two doctors who were helping me. There is Dr. Del Campo and Dr. Chan. I like Dr. Chan much better. LOL. I think Dr. del Campo was very confrontational and doubtful of what I was saying. First what happened was, I sat down and told Dr. chan what was going on. Then, he went to discuss it with Dr. Del Campo. Dr. Del Campo came and asked me the same questions! I don't know. There's just something about him that I don't like.
They suggested that I have an MRI and an EEG done so that they have somewhere to start. Dr. Chan went down to the clinic where they do EEGs to see if they could fit me in today. Sure enough, they had a spot for me at 1:30. Unfortunately, that meant waiting around for 2 hours. Luckily though, they have a Tim Hortons in the lobby, so I was able to grab some lunch. since I didn't get breakfast this morning, I was starving.
They called my name to go into the room for the EEG around 12:45, which was nice since I was starting to fall asleep in my chair. LOL. Newmar had to stay a bit away from the bed because the lady who was putting those electrode things on my head had to get around that side of the bed. Newmar didn't like this one bit especially when I almost had a seizure during the test. They had flashing lights, luckily only for a short period of time though. Newmar tried to put his head through the bars on the bed to get to me. Poor guy. I got him to lie back down so that the technician could continue.
Oh man, I felt so dirty after that. I just wanted to go home and wash. My hair felt so grimy and so did my face because some of the electrodes had to go on my forehead and around my face. LOL. It was strange. So the whole way home, on both subways, the streetcar and the bus, I sat there with a grimmace on my face. LOL. People probably thought "Oh what a bitch." LOL. It felt so good just to hop in that shower when I arrived back at res. I stayed in there for an extra twenty minutes to let it all get out of my skin. LOL.
My next appointment is on December 12, so ... I hope to have some answers by then. They said my MRI should be before then too.
Well, that's it for now, folks. Take care, and I'll write soon.
Jessica and Newmar who hopes he doesn't have to see another hospital for a very long time.
