EpilepsyBlogger: Flashing Lights

Hey everyone! I'm awake... it's 9:14pm my time. Just finished my breathing and flashing light test for my video EEG (aka VEEG). Woah, did the breathing upset me more than I thought! The lights... well, not so much, surprisingly. I'm trying my best to have a seizure as soon as possible so I can just go home. I am not having much fun at all in this bed. I feel like my head is going to fall off as it is weighed down with wires and a battery pack. Not to mention that everywhere I go I am connected to a big long cord!

Looking and feeling miserable...

There's even a battery pack in my front pocket in which I cannot stand. So I'm being weighed down from the back and the front. (Note: Sorry for all the venting... but I just want to get out of here!) I really did enjoy my conversation with the tech putting on all my electrodes today. I might say, he did an excellent job and attaching them to my head without spilling anything into my eyes or poking me! Defiinitely better than past experiences.

There's a camera watching me at all times. I must admit, it's a bit creepy when it starts moving as I walk across the room. But the tech team is really cool and I'm glad that they can watch me and take care of me in the event of a seizure... which I have not yet had. But I'm trying!
