I imagine he is going to be even more up my butt after my surgery on Monday. He's the best boi. My goldendoodle puppy is too busy playing to stay with me. She comes and says hi every once in a while though lol.

I had to have a brain scan thing which involved putting electrodes on my head and attaching them to a data-recording device. It could be done at home, but it was very unpleasant. One of my dogs sat on my lap almost the entire time.

The other one chewed up the memory card when the technician took it out of the machine and had her back turned for about 10 seconds.

Thankfully, they had enough test data to get what they needed.

The dog that sat on my lap is no longer with us. The evil one that chewed up the memory card is still with us and doing other evil things all the time.

My puppy would totally chew up medical devices if I had any around. She's always up to no good lol

Aww, good doggo!

Sounds like an EEG test. Did they glue the electrodes or give you a cap? The glue can sometimes be really difficult to clean out.

I don't remember a cap or glue, but it was a few years ago now. I remember my entire head above my ears was wrapped up in tape. I shaved my head before we started even though no one told me to, but I'm glad I did.

You’d probably remember the glue if they used it. I worked in an office with an EEG tech and she only liked to use glue. It stinks of chemical fumes when applied and is tough to get out. I don’t think it’s the preferred method but was her preference.

There was a younger tech that would help with the take home video EEG tests. He wrapped people’s heads as you’ve described. Any way it’s done people are usually very happy to be free of it. :)

Yes. It was really, really hot. And it itched. I was pretty miserable.

Is the name a Steven King Fairy Tale reference?

[–] criticon@lemmy.ca 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Are you Mr. Bowditch from Stephen King's Fairy Tale?

[–] LaunchesKayaks@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't know that book lol

The story begins with an old guy that breaks his leg falling from a stair and has a dog named radar and the protagonist starts looking after the dog while the old guy is in the hospital

Is the dog the spooky scary thing in the story...?
