Last Day part 2

These are SOME of the electrodes I had placed on my head

Kirk the hilarious chief Neurology Tech that re-gel'd and removed my electrodes

Before I left, Kirk, the chief technologist stopped by to remove the electrodes stuck to my head. He removed them with acetone(!!) so he gave me an "acetone removal breathing apparatus" aka a big piece of paper to fan myself with. Dude's so funny!!!

Kirk stopped by once a day to re-gel my electrodes (which relieved the itching) and to make sure they were correctly in place. Kirk always made the process go by quickly with his dry sense of humor. The day before yesterday he offered to give me a copy of my personal recordings. I didn't really know exactly what was in the recordings so I was like, "okay". He brought it by today since he was going to remove the electrodes from my head and it would be the last time we would see each other. As we were talking I mentioned that I've only seen somebody have a seizure once and that it was traumatizing. When he heard that he said, "oh you should take caution with that DVD, I gave you. It's footage of all of your seizures big and small!! There's also recordings of the EEG and copies of the PET scan, etc etc." Bascially he hooked me up with a free DVD of information I'd need for a second opinion. That info is really hard to get. You have to request it months in advance and you have to have several approvals and several signatures from different people in different departments aside from the paperwork that would need to be filled out by the other doctor. At first I was very curious and had every intention to look through the CD. But now, there's no way I'm going to view the footage of myself seizing. I am happy that I have it, though, because I might want a second opinion after the doctors at UCLA give me their prognosis. *sigh*
