Today I have an EEG (Electroencephalography). Wikipedia has a brief definition: recording of electrical activity along the scalp produced by the firing of neurons within the brain. My fabulous neurologist I see for migraines has ordered it due to some weird “events” I’ve been having for awhile. Not to freak anyone out, but they are kind of like seizures, but not quite seizures. He is confident it will be normal, so no worries!
The cool part is that they send the reading to him on a DVD and because I asked him to, he is going to show me that DVD at my next appointment. I am excited to see my own brain waves.
But I have to wonder. None of this occurred prior to botched pain pump surgery and subsequent fist-fulls of narcotics afterward. How much of this is directly or indirectly related?
I better not think too hard on the subject. In preparation for my EEG I have to be sleep deprived and now is not the time for serious contemplation! Now is the time for Demetri Martin, the Simpsons, and the Colbert Report.
Have you asked the DR. about the relation to the botched pain pump surgery and stuff? I'm interested in that answer too!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll be normal too!
And I am excited you get to see your results! Fun!
Good Luck!
