The Sick.

I have 24 hours left on the EEG at home.  I went up to the EEG lab this morning, and I succeeded in keeping the Medusa on my head overnight, even if it pissed me off and hurt.  It's been re-wrapped and doesn't hurt as much this time. 

Although - it's harder with everyone home, because when I am plugged in, we're all tripping on my cords.

That - and 25% of the kids are sick with a stomach virus.  Yes! 

This means, someone else just has to get it within the next twelve hours and they're going to have to come to the hospital with us tomorrow just for fun.  (If you're not an RNY'er, there's something you should know about stomach viruses:  some of us with altered digestion, can't exactly "get sick."  It doesn't seem to function anymore, so when The Sick hits us, we can only crap ourselves.)  If another kid doesn't catch The Sick very soon, it's bound to be me.  Or, if February wants to be just as fun as January was, we could ALL get it at the same time, because we have ONE tiny bathroom!  That, would be SUPER fun.

But, for as long as I've had this EEG on, I haven't had any seizure issues or pre-seize feelings, though I wouldn't know because I do not know when it's happening ANYWAY.  I pressed the button to mark a few moments of "Well, I don't feel exactly right," but I also tested my blood sugar at those moments and I has having a low both times.  The first time, I found myself pacing and feeling blurry eyed and out of it - and I tested my sugar, and it was in the low 60's.  The second, very similar, and I was in the low 70's.  I assume that those issues will look entirely normal on the EEG reading, since that was glucose changes that I felt.

Tomorrow, I get this off of my head - and probably get put on drugs - strangely enough - likely the same drugs or similar to what I was put on back in the summer when I tried to tell the PCP that I was a hypoglycemic and she told me I was probably just nuts.  What?  Really, the psychiatrist I saw put me on ANTI-SEIZURE medications as an off-label use for suspected bipolarity.  Did you follow that?
