I come in peace. EEG.
02/02/2008
I'm wired. So, tell me, how can we trigger seizures (or maybe just a little pre-seizure activity, because the seizures I've had were really scary?) I went up this morning and had the EEG put back on, and it stays on until Monday. I hate wearing it because the wrapping and wires themselves give me a headache, and the glasses fold my ears down. I felt "lovely" until the stupid contraption went on this morning. Now I'm eating like crap and drinking coffee, hoping that "helps" a little out of the ordinary brain action come along. It may help if I stay up really late and get super-tired, but... I really don't need to be miserable tomorrow or beyond.
I have to go back in the morning (argh!) to have it checked, and then back on Monday for the removal.
On the way home today - we stopped to get lunch at a mall - and I thought I could find a hat to put on so that people weren't looking at me like I had a gaping wound in my skull or that maybe I forgot to come out with my Special Helmet. We went into Macy*s, and I immediately got The Look. People gawk, don't they? I looked at what was left of the winter hats, and decided that they'd all just bring further attention to my head and gave up.
We went to get lunch, and the hostess practically ran to ask me to sit, "Please, please! Sit down, sit down! Right here!"
I sort of laughed at that, because, I'm not hurt, I just look ridiculous. I thought about making up some crazy story about a brain transplant for half a moment, but... I figured they already think I'm nuts, no point in pushing it.
I'm not nuts. I promise, but, laugh or point, and I'll show you nuts.
