From the experienced - been there, done that, through it all - lost count!
I've had several video electroencephalograms and it's no big
deal, want my "end deal of it"? It's boring as heck!
Just be sure to find out if that Hospital is Wi-Fi accessible
so you can lug your laptop with you! You're going to find
that awfully handy! So everyone here can pick on you, err,
is that you get to pick on us?
Hahahahahahaha! Other than that, let's see ... books, they're
ok - but one can get pretty bored. Having a Sketch Book with
Permanent Ink and make SIGNS for the Video is awesome!
"I'M HUNGRY!"
"HI, I CAN SEE YOU!"
"Did you know you
have something between
your teeth?"
Oh Oh .. am I bad?
But of course, I think the whole purpose is to see how
they can accomplish in boring us to death! It's a dry
joke around here that vEEG's is a "cure all" for seizures
for it is not unusual for one to be in a vEEG and come up
with nothing and head home and go figure ... ends up with
seizures? *smirks* A very common complaint with a lot
who have ended up with vEEG's and returned home empty
handed!
However - oh the things they do to get you to seize, sleep
deprivation, med reduction, yadda, yadda, yadda ... but while
I am profoundly deaf - and all my seizures had been captured
and recorded ----> I must note from those who have been
in vEEG ends up with Mrs or Mr Noisy -- so it seems that
there is a Bionic Motormouth at every vEEG? Screaming at
their top of their lungs? (Don't know if this is true or not, but
I am pretty sure the others who've been through this may
very well back me up and share stories about Mr. Screamy-Head
or Mrs. Yadda Mouth) - and all the joys and entertainment one
can get there ...
As for the food - it can range from top notch to I want some
REAL food not cardboard that thinks its food.
(It might help if you can get someone to smuggle in something
from McDonalds or somewhere - LOL! I've known some folks
who've done just that - but rest assured - from their postings,
it sure did taste better than cardboard food - LOL!)
And OH - they give you this button here ... you press on it
when you THINK you are going to have a seizure or experience
an aura or feel weird ... it doesn't matter if you pushed it 10,
100, 1,000 times - they have to come and check on everything.
Believe it or not - that little funny smell that you thought maybe
well that's just the janitor somewhere, could very well be a seizure;
PUSH THAT DANGED BUTTON! You might just be surprised to find
out there isn't any janitor and you just had a seizure!
PS: As for the signs ... Really - the Staff could use some humor,
and I've had chuckles from using their dry erase off the wall (because
I was bored) but one Nurse didn't like it when I wrote ..
"Eating at the Desk again?"
Unfortunately - it ended up with the Dry Erase board and pen
being removed from my room!
LOL!
