Good luck with insurance, Garney
I started having seizures probably when I was 45 but was diagnosed when I was 46 and had my first VEEG in Oct., 2005.
Take some good books and maybe some needle work (do you do any needle work?) puzzle books - something to do with your hands in bed - something to keep you occupied. Oh - it's BORING. And you'll have hospital food
Will they let you have have a lap top? What a blessing that would be! Good luck -- we'll be thinking about you and wishing you the best.
