2. Diagnostic testing
They wanted to find out where in my brain my seizures were coming from.

Too deep for surface measurements.

4. Is that better than having them sieze your brain?

8. Are you okay?
:hug:

Why were you in the hospital? And for how long?

Do you have any interesting or weird stories to tell about your time in there?

:hi:

9. I'm fine
It was for diagnostics. I was in the hospital to see where the origins are for my seizures. I was there for 5 days. Weirdest story... no, no weird stories. Except they hand a hard time finding a good vein/artery in my arm so they went for the back of my fist.

12. I hope they found what they need
and they have the meds that will prevent your seizures. Just as important, I hope you don't have any side effects from those meds. :hug:

13. They found some interesting stuff
Such as the seizure's origin is deep in my brain and takes a while to manifest fully (I'll become confused first). I'll go into surgery in the future for implants or removal of scar tissue.

14. Wow. I hope the removal of the scar tissue
helps, and prevents the seizures.

That is interesting that you have a warning as your seizures start, but because it is confusion you might not know what's going on or know what to do. :(

15. Before the confusion, I'll get
nauseous with a big headache.

17. They often have trouble finding veins or arteries on me. But they never have
to go to the back of my fist.

The best thing I had was what my mom got me from a burrito place.
