Husband is in hospital for eeg monitoring, they need to trigger a seizure and his brain isn't cooperating.  It's all like "oh sure now you WANT me to do this."

Shit, dude. I hope they figure it out!

I hate my hometown. It has people like this.

QuoteI'm saying make sure the guy you're calling a Nazi is in fact a Nazi before using the term. If someone has evidence that Mr. "Hitler Wasn't Wrong" is in fact a dues-paying member of Stormfront or some other fascist promoting organization, I'd like to see it.

If he wants to get pedantic about it, almost nobody's a Nazi because the National Socialist German Workers' Party doesn't exist anymore.

But in the sense that a Nazi is someone who supports the ideology of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, anybody who thinks Hitler was right is definitely a Nazi.

There is a massive group professor-fight being broadcast on the grad student listserv right now. I think they forgot that the original email CC'd us, and they just keep hitting "reply all". It's EPIC.

Can't say. But I am :lulz: at the fact that professors have epic email catfights. I can tell there's history behind it, too, so I assume it's not the first time it's happened; just the first time they have CCd the entire department.

I hate to say this, but there is a possibility that "Hilter Did Nothing Wrong" guy may not be a Nazi. A 4chan Get thread a few years back went something along the lines of "whatever post hits [insert Big Round Number Here] is true forever" and "Hitler did nothing wrong" was the post that won. It was also one of the finalists in Mt Dew's poorly thought out online naming contest. Edgelord certainly, Nazi status is questionable.

Not the guy who got punched, though, that guy's a fucking Nazi all day.

I just watched a guy punch a clown for charity.  It was strangely cathartic.

Geh spikes but nothing else.  Hopefully that is enough.

Basically he had a seizure after a year of being free of them while on meds.  New neurologist didn't think previous assessment that his mri reveled a structural problem he said it was too soon after his first one, the anomaly might have been the brain recovering.  After asking me about sleep disruptions, I said yeah before he was on meds he'd sit up randomly, say things, occasionally sleepwalk. Neurologist suspected those were seizures and that the problem might have been going on longer than we think (sleep disturbances happened as long we've been together, seizures just 3 years) . 

So signed him up for this monitoring to find out what's going on.  I should have asked what the hell happens if his brain doesn't cooperate. We can't go any longer, too expensive, also not exactly healthy long term.

Though he got to wear the experimental dense eeg apparatus for two days and looked like a spaceman, so there's that.

That is craptastic. Are they gonna do an fMRI, or is that too expensive?

Aww, man, I was still holding out hope for that too. I really liked that story.

Not sure yet.  He's home now.  See what they say about his stay.

I will send you a copy in PDF, because you of all people would love how things go.  I have been at one chapter left to go for 13 months.  I suppose I should finish it.

Someone spouts blatantly pro-Nazi shit they no longer get any kind of benefit of the doubt whether they are or are not a nazi.
