Upcoming trip.

It's been a while! 

I've been busy with hospital stays, family visiting and running around places amongst other things. With everything going on I haven't had to much time to spend on updating my blog. These hectic times don't stop here though, tomorrow I'm starting a exciting project. I can't give to much away for now.. but it involves road tripping around Britain for a little while so I'm not to sure if I'll be able to write much. 

I'm excited, nervous and intrigued all rolled into one as I too am half in the dark about whats about to happen over the next week or so. It's going to be a good one though!! 

What's in my (hospital) bag.

I've seen these "What's in my bag" posts around and about on blogs so I thought I'd do one of my own!

I'm packing my bag ready for my Video Telemetry in hospital which starts from tomorrow morning. It almost seemed a must to snap a photo and hope I have everything I need!

I'm being admitted for at least three days and I am not allowed to leave my room for 24 hours a day... so one of my main priorities is bringing things to entertain myself! A book is obviously a good place to start so I've borrowed one of my housemates books to take. This along with my laptop, camera and phone should keep me entertained for a while along with visitors! 

Snuggly nightwear is also a must! I will have a bunch of wires connected to my head to trying to sleep is going to be difficult I imagine. Plus I won't have a duvet as they want to see any movements at all times so warmth is also another things to think about so my dressing gown is coming along for the ride along with my slippers. 

Button up clothes are needed as I won't be able to put anything on/off over my head due to the wires. I won't be able to shower for the duration of the test also so plenty of wash things are packed along with all my meds in their boxes so the medical staff can see what I'm taking. 

Cheerio! 

Video EEG booked.

I got a phone call telling me I'm going into hospital from the 10th of October for my video telemetry. Thats THIS Wednesday, Scary!  

All I know is that I have to be there at 9AM on Wednesday and I will be in until at least Friday evening and I should bring things to keep myself from getting bored as I will not be allowed to leave the room 24 hours a day. 

I can tell it's going to be a thrilling ride... 

The Piano Guys

Looking over my last few posts there seems to be a rather low mood theme to them so I thought I'd write a positive post :)

The Piano Guys are incredible. Fact. Listening to them brings a smile to my face and this strange feeling into my heart. Now I realise how cheesy that sounds but there is just something about them that sits perfectly with my music tastes. Having the piano and my favourite instrument the cello as their main instruments is a massive help! Here's a link to their  You tube channel to have a sneaky peek. 

I like all their music to a certain extend, but I do prefer the more classical approach. Some of their covers of popular music tracks are just stunning too, here's an example of my favourites, not the highest of quality but still beautiful...

My music taste is vast and very varied but I could just sit and listen to these guys all day!

Wait and See

OKAY okay I'm trying not to worry about this but it's just to hard not to at least wonder what is going on...

So with this whole ongoing constant headache that is driving me mad I've been trying different things to rule out causes. Yesterday I went for an eye test, I've never had any problems. I've always been told by neuro's and opticians that I have perfectly clear eyes and yesterday was told yet again that my vision and eyes are PERFECT. There's just one thing... While I was there (as I hadn't had an eye test in about 7 years) they suggested that they would perform a field vision test. It was done using a machine where you have to look at a little light in the centre of the box you look into, then click a little buzzer thing in your hand every time they show you a little white light elsewhere in the box. 

These were the results:

The circled dots above are where I didn't click the buzzer. The test basically said that I'm not seeing all that much in the upper left field of vision... But as far as I'm concerned I'm pretty sure I can! A couple of people looked over the first test then told me I had to repeat it. Unfortunately it was pretty much the same outcome. I don't really know what happens from here, I was given a copy of the results and told to take them to my doctor and the opticians will write to them also. 

So now it's a waiting game I guess while all sorts of scenarios race around my mind. Great.
