I escaped the Dentist - for now. He decided Id have to have the tooth removed at hospital in a few weeks. I dont trust him anyway. Ive had the guy as a dentist all my life and in that time he has removed 6 of my teeth, healthy teeth I might add, to fit a brace. when I went to see him on monday, he suddenly looked real old, he must be retiring soon.
"gosh you dont have many teeth..what happened to them all?" he said puzzled, not remembering that it wasnt actually a mystery.
"You pulled them all out and give my skull a hairline fracture" I would have said, if he hadnt had his impliments of torture in my mouth at the time.

In other good news , Emma is doing a little better in hospital and hopefully I can go see her next week.

I had the EEG scan. It was interesting...but not exciting unfortunatly. I was imagining that I could see the results, that maybe they would be giving me electric shocks or making me look at series of puzzles, and having people sneak up behind me and go "BOO!" but nah. she stuck all these little sensors to my head and the top of my ears. I dont know what brainwaves are in the top of the ears but what do I know about neuroscience I suppose.

Then I had to sit there, for about an hour, doing absolutely nothing. Towards the end she made me do 3 minutes of deep breathing relaxation. Apparently they get better results if you are doing this - and I can only see it as meditating. She said the more active the brain is, the more obscured any underlying abnormalities are. There must be a marked differences between the relaxed, non-thinking mind and the active one. So much so, she said the results cannot be interpreted until it has been filtered through a computer to edit out all the crap.
Its going to them an awfully long time to edit it, there is alot of things they will have to get rid of from them brainwaves - worries of if I had busfare home, what would I have for my tea,what can I buy my family for christmas, whats on tv tonight, can I fart in here and get away with it? wouldnt it be nice to shag various celebrities,maybe mr mears could tie me to a tree and molester me or something and-- oh my gosh, can that thing pick up sexual arousal? I hope not. infact, I cant see what the hell they are looking at, is it possible the screen is showing actual pictures of my thoughts. Id better just stare at the carpet...`
"oh heck" she says "whats going on here?"
Then she looks over to me "Oh wait a sec, one of the sensors fell off."
At the end of the test, a torture device appeared from nowhere and was put infront of my eyes. I was asked to stay relaxed with my eyes closed, as the thing flashed bright intense light through my eyelids, first slowly and then faster and faster until I couldnt percieve the pulses. I must say that made me feel very strange, I dont know if thats normal or not, but I felt light I was going lightheaded like I was floating away and being hypnotised. meditation and drugs are not needed, just that bright flashy thing is enough to bring on altered states of consciousness.
So I have to wait for my fantasy sex life and other worries to be removed before they can see if anything is wrong. It was worth having it done though, even for peace of mind. It can pick up migraine symptoms, epilepsy and alike and see the difference of that between early onset MS, which is something that scared me. I very much doubt I have anything like that, but it seems to be so common nowadays these worries begin to permiate the mind. It seems possible the jerking and twitching I occasionally get may be mild common epilepsy because I get it usually when on a computer, when Im tired or had a drink, which are give aways. Either that or Im just twitchy...
