Sometime in the month of February, I agreed to an extended-stay EEG. To do this I had to be hooked up to many wires, and stay put in either my hospital bed or a chair in the room. In addition to the wires, I was monitored by camera 24/7.

For the past couple years, we thought I was having seizures ~ so I’ve been taking seizure medicine. Recently, I found myself a new neurologist who questioned my seizures and wanted more information ~ thus, the long, lonely days at the hospital.

During my stay, I had 2 sleep deprived EEG’s with one of them being a 24 hour deprivation. It was very boring and I became quite emotional! I felt incredibly fortunate to have wonderful support from family & friends. I received flowers, flowers, and more flowers. Each time a vase of brightly colored flowers were carried in, I was filled with appreciation knowing I have so many  caring people in my life… The flowers stayed with me through the duration, it was nice to have them. Beyond the beautiful buds, were the people.

It was more than I could have ever hoped… I had support from so many people. I am not sure how I could have managed with out the visits, encouraging words, emails, phone calls, and  text messages. I thank each and every person who supported me through this ordeal.

The result of the stay showed no signs of seizures! No more seizure meds for me and I am feeling great!
