Back from the EEG and LJ problems
Well, the LJ issues from earlier today seem to be okay now. Wasn't that odd? Thanks to everyone who commented. I'm glad to know I wasn't the only one having problems, not that I'm happy that you were having them too. It's just heartening to know the problem wasn't me, dig.
I asked the EEG technician if I could take a picture after the test was complete and she was kind enough to comply.
The test lasted about 50 minutes. I was led through some relaxation exercises and told to keep my eyes closed until she said to open them. It was all groovy until the flashy light portion of the EEG. I had to endure various light pulses with my eyes closed and then with my eyes open. I don't know if they were trying to induce a seizure, but all I wanted to do was let my eyes roll in the back of my head and scream. It was like being at a Discotheque in Hell with no music. Suckage. The test ended right after the flashy light portion. I asked the tech if everything looked okay to her and she said that she didn't see anything too extremely abnormal. I'm paraphrasing there because I can't remember exactly what she said. But she put it in a way that made me think there was something unusual about the EEG results. Great. Just call me Abby Normal.
She did ask if I'd been stressed at the time of my seizure. I told her I'd been under a great deal of stress for a very long time, but haven't most Americans? If stress causes seizures, this country would show up on the Richter Scale on a perpetual basis.
But I'm home now and I've got dollops of goo all over my head. And my hair is sticking out at various odd angles. I look like Abby Normal, to be sure.
