This morning at 9.00, I was waiting for Dr Fish to get sorted out for my appointment at Yeovil District Hospital. When I went in to see him, he asked if one of the doctors at Musgrove Park Hospital had seen me yet. I gave him a surprise when I told him that I had seen Mr Barnaby Sheridan and had also had the surgery. So, after he got over the surprise, he had a look at my hand to see how it was. I told him that there has been some improvement in sensation and grip, so he tested for it. That was surprise number two for him because it has only been three days since surgery and there are signs of improvement. He will be writing to Barnaby with the news. We agreed that there is quite a way to go before it's anything like normal but it is going in the right direction. What will be the next stage of investigation into my mental health condition? Getting a handle on the absence episodes is what. Dr Fish mentioned a word after a phone call to Charli about the episode I had in Sunderland. It was a word that I have been ready for since these episodes started. Epileptic. I don't know if it was a medical opinion or a slip of the tongue but the next stage of the investigation should give big clues. I will be spending some time in Musgrove Park Hospital again, this time 24 hours for an ambulatory EEG test. I will be wired up to a portable EEG machine for 24 hours to try to get a trace of my brainwaves during an episode. All I can say is 'bring it on' so that we can find out what is happening to me and get it under control.
It's nearly the weekend when I can relax and enjoy loads of NCIS, CSI and Law & Order. I am really looking forward to it after this week's events, it will be like therapy for me! Feeling quite good, as I do now, will set me up for a good weekend watching favourite telly shows and doing PM Live at 7pm UK time on Saturday. Email thisisplanetmaz@gmail.com for links and/or info. So as long as nothing earth shattering happens, I should be OK until Monday at least. So I will be posting again then.TTFN.
