The NCV found no abnormalities, so said my neurologist, this of course after he left burn marks on my arm and leg after zapping me ten times when he lost my nerve. It was fun laying there hearing "no... hrm, ZAP! hm, no thats not it either... ZAP! hrm, is it over here.. ZAP! *leg jumps up* oh there it is!" I'm not even going to pretend that I will ever know enough about neurology to even sit in on an NCV and understand it, but I didn't read anything about burn marks in my patient literature!
Here is a slideshow of pictures taken by Jacob during the testing. I asked him to take these pictures because I couldn't find any online that demonstrated what the test involves. If you ever have to get an NCV done, this is what it will look like:
In case you were wondering, I was in absolute agony. I had taken my "nighttime cocktail" (100 mg of nortriptyline, 300 mg of gabapentin, 5 mg of Opana ER) as well as 0.5 mg of Lorazepam for good measure. The neurologist said "See, it wasn't as bad as you were expecting!" Once he left the room, I fell apart. Afterward, Jacob took me to our new favorite comic book/toy store and bought me this:
In other news, the new 5th generation production Camaro has been officially unveiled and I politely request you check out www.chevrolet.com/camaro. I already have a lovely list going of what my future Camaro will have in it; luckily some of the features I want won't come out until December of 2009, so I won't have to make the morally unsound decision to drive while being as stoned as Cindy McCain (not stoned as in rock projectiles, think Haight-Ashbury). Hopefully by NEXT Christmas I'll be in normal-ish health. Hopefully.
Here is my dream Camaro build thus far:
RS exterior package with SS performance package (Brembo brakes b**ches!)
LS3 with six speed manual TR6060
Solid top...no, a sunroof... no, wait, maybe a convertible? Hrm, get back to you on this one.
Heads Up Display aka HUD, maybe backup/parking assist (never used it before, no idea if I'd like it or not)
Bluetooth and USB connectivity
Center console gauges (engine torque, volts, oil temp, oil pressure)
aftermarket Sirius Satellite Radio
blue ambient lighting interior trim
metal pedal option, if not part of rs/ss package
a fancy shift knob (thats not a technical term, under no circumstances should you google that...)
Black or dark gray wheels
black and white interior
Jetstream Blue Metallic (they better offer it!)
Dark tint... because I don't want the Justin.tv paparazzi following me. Sigh, its so hard being famous (so I hear)
Can you believe a car fanatic like me lives in a city this car-bitter?
