I just thought I'd check in with an interim follow-up - I completed my second neuro-psych testing last Thursday and it kicked my butt. Not necessarily the test per se, but the drive to get there...downtown Austin at 8:00 a.m. I honestly think neuro facilities should be required to have satellite offices in every section of town and none of them should be allowed to make appointments that begin or end at rush hour! Is part of the test just GETTING THERE INTACT and not hurting anyone else in the process???

As for the test, I was reassured by the young lady administering the ordeal that the tests are designed to max out your ability to complete them accurately. It actually did make me feel a bit better.

I hope your results come in soon and are positive.

I had my appointment with the Neuro Psychologist for the results of the cognitive testing. It was actually kind of anticlimactic. I got all hi-average grades in most areas that involved the ability to verbally communicate. I got a grade of average for most of the mathematical parts, and I got low-average on graphical/spacial problems like drawing complex patterns from memory.

So now we have a base-line that they will use to measure my future failings.

Whoopie!
