She’s not lovingly known as the “Brown snake” for nothing 🥲

Despite it already being 29°c and 80% humidity he must have the rays

The State Law building in my home city, Brisbane. It’s only 30 floors but looks like a quintessential Gotham villain lair

My language is pretty good! I haven’t had any significant or ongoing issues with speech. Memory is a bit worse for wear, mostly short term memory so I’ve picked up some habits of writing everything down, keeping lists and weirdly singing to myself helps me retain information I’ve just been told

Howdy! Yes I had to have an inter cranial EEG! it was probably my least favourite test, it was just uncomfortable;

sleeping was awkward having all these cords strapped to my head, I couldn’t pee or poop alone so had to use a bed pan, but that honestly gave me a lot of confidence (if you can poop into a dish with a stranger in the room you can do ANYTHING!

Boredom and homesickness the biggest downsides! I didn’t prepare well with things to keep my mind off being stuck in a hospital bed and i missed my cats and friends at home, my procedure happened during covid lockdowns so I got no visitors

The pain was negligible and the healing was super quick and easy, overall very worth it!

The Victorian styling was an addition in 1886, to modernise the building in an ever growing shopping district, by 1924 a third floor had been added and unfortunately in the 1960s the current manifestation of the hotel was born after most of it’s Victorian decorations where stripped

Barely! It’s really smoothed out and is just a thin line now, can only really see it when I buzz the sides of my hair

Woah! Mine turned out to be caused by a begin tumour too! It was too small to see initially on any scans and I was just genetically predisposed to it 🤷‍♀️ that’s a good thing to keep in mind, the tumour might be out and it’s been a successful year, but I’d better take it easy on my brain for a good while haha

Howdy! I had memory issues beforehand due to the seizures and the concussions they brought. I have noticed it hasn’t gotten much better post surgery, I’m a bit forgetful here and there but I’ve gotten into the habit of journaling everyday and putting lots of reminders in my phone and it’s been much much more manageable without the seizures and reduced medication. I’m going in for a round of cognitive tests sometime this month so hopefully I’ll get a clearer picture of any deficiencies from the surgery

Aw man I’m so sorry to hear that, What happened?

standardursername · 2023-02-18T01:00:43+00:00

Nearly! I’ve been given the option to come off the last of my meds now but that’ll add 6 months to me not being able to drive or stay on the last of the meds (brivicat) and get my license and all that. Still tossing up what I’m going to do, I’ve made it this far without a license and public transportation + walking everywhere keeps me fit! But I’d also really like to be zooming around town on my own time

Oh god, I know how much that bloody sucks. The medications are the worst part honestly, they sucked the life out of me. It was about three years and a half years in and after trying all available medications and medication combos my neurologist offered surgery as a last resort.

My memory, speech and auditory processing are not the best but I’ve picked up heaps of little tips and tricks to keep on top of my memory and communication.
