Da-bomb (Ambulatory EEG)

I am doing a 72 hour EEG which means I get to wear this cap and these wires for a little while. I'm looking good huh? They LITERALLY glued the leads on with something similar to super glue, and plan on getting the glue off with acetone. My poor hair. Other than being a little itchy and the opposite of fashionable this test isn't too bad. They are doing it to check to see if the "convulsive syncope" I experience is is actually a seizure. I am pretty sure it is all blood pressure related and figure the test results will be unremarkable but I'm glad the neurologist is being thorough.

Since I have all these wires coming off of me and a couple inside of me I have decided that my new nickname is going to be "Da-bom" lol!


P.S. Isn't my mom cute the tech smuggled her a cap of her own so we could be twinners :)
