Staying up all night in the EMU.

I've been in the EMU since 8 am on 4/18 and it is 10:45 pm on the 19th. I'm having to stay awake for the night and I'm so tired and I have 70 electrodes glued to my head. When Big Bang Theory goes off in a few minutes I will watch Bourne Ultimatum again then Knives Out. Currently a man on the floor has been yelling for about an hour solid. He yells the same phrase for about five minutes then changes to something else. Now it's "Get up" and it just changed to "Down." Before that it was "Lisa" and "Get out of the there." My life isn't easy but it could be worse and it is most definitely not boring at this time.

Tomorrow I'll will have my VNS turned off and start having seizures pretty soon for my SPECT study. A nurse will stay in the room ready to inject me with a radioactive tracer and I'll get wheeled down to a scanner that detects gamma radiation and it will find the parts of my brain that are most active during a seizure.

If you have any questions I've got all night. BTW the guy stopped yelling and started barking and grunting.
