Agh, the horror!

I'm in Shreveport tonight. It's been a good day. I've gone to a party, a business lunch, and a meeting over pie. I'm tired, but moderately content. The car definitely works and yes it's still smarter than I am. Don't worry, even though I've worked all day, I did manage to pamper myself a little tonight. I had my nails done. Which seemed like a good idea at the time until the woman doing my nails chopped off part of my cuticle and it started dripping blood. The finger dripping blood? My left ring finger. Ah, the irony.

Speaking of blood and its effects on me, my EEG is tomorrow. I'm not sure if I told you, but my cat scan results came back, all's well. So that's one test down, more to come. I think just an EEG and an MRI and then I'm calling it quits. I feel a little weird about tomorrow. I'm not scared, just wondering what it's going to be like. There is prep stuff I have to do for my EEG. I have to wash my hair tonight and put no product in it. So I'll look like Medusa until they plug me up to a whole bunch of wires and then I'll look like the bride of Frankenstein. I took a literary genre: horror class in college so all this mad science stuff is exciting/scary. I didn't ever think I'd be plugged into a machine though. I also can't have caffeine OR chocolate. Take my blood, run my brain through an x-ray, plug me into a machine, but no chocolate? This is agony......

Alas, first the bloody ring finger irony and then no caffeine or chocolate - this almost sounds like one of those horror movies. :) May God's grace and mercy be with you through it all. ec

Who needs chocolate when there's tapioca, everyone love tapioca!

You have my prayers Allison.

I am praying too. EEGs aren't that scary. God Bless You!

My EEG is over and done with. I didn't pass out or go into a seizure today. My heart might've been pounding so hard the bed was shaking, but other than that I'm unaffected.

Unofficially, the EEG guy says I look fine. As in my brain, wink wink. Officially, I'll go to my follow-up with my neurologist Feb. 20 where he will either confirm or deny the EEG guy's prognosis.
