Yes, I've been putting it off also. It's something I really need to rectify though.
I have a Wadda test and possibly surgery in my near future.
This is kind of epilepsy related but not really. Idk.
So who is procrastinating on their living will? Just me?
I have had the WADA test and it's a trip!! They literally put one side of the brain to sleep for about 2 minutes, while testing memory etc on the other side, and then they switch. FRUSTRATING for me when they put the left side "to sleep." They showed me different phrase cards, like "Jack and Jill went up the hill" and I had to repeat. Right side? No problem. Left side? I could comprehend, read, etc BUT I COULD NOT SAY IT OUT LOUD. I tried and tried....I remember clenching my fists, and actually laughing and sort of pounding the table. I KNEW what I had to say..but nothing would make it out. VERY weird.I had a Wada test too and apparently so f*ing weird. Have you ever had one before? It was like a total knockout for each side of the brain and tested for each side while knockout going on. I’ve had a yearning to actually see what those results are, and then how to see how the surgery could have actually f**ked up my mind. I’m full of dread that I need to have the stuff continuing.
