okay, so I have my appointment set up for my admitted EEG. 5-7 days. I am suddenly nervous. instead of making this super long paragraphs i'll just list whats to come.
+ Visiting hours are from 9am-8pm. Which means I dont get to see many people cuz everyone is working. I'l be "alone" and thats scary.
+ I wont have chad to sleep beside. The beds are probably those uncomfortable gurney things.
+ The food is probably going to suck, and they probably wont listen to my gluten free requests.
+ I have a room mate. Another female luckily, but still. I'm not ready to see someone else have a seizure. Im panicing about that. What if it turns status and she dies????
+ I dont want a complete stranger watching me seize or seeing me in a very vulnerable position looking groty.
+ i cant have my cell phone, laptop, gameboy, or any electronics. So i'm going to be bored out of my mind. I have to share the TV with the roommate so who knows what i'll be forced to listen to. or watch...
+ I have issues sleeping at night. I freak out about noises or shadows. (yes that is slightly pathetic that I'm 21 and afraid of the dark)
+ I dont want an IV. I am rarely coherent when I get one, so Im not sure how im going to react being fully alert while someone jabs something in my vein.
So tell me how to keep myself occupied. In my generation, technology is everything. I dont have books I read, because I read way too fast. Typically if I sit down to read, i can read 2 books a day. I dont want to lug 14 books in my suitcase on the bus.
So how do you keep ocupied for a week without sleeping the whole time. When I am bored I get tired, grouchy, hungry and anxious.
