From an EEG to Speaking at a Retreat

Friday, January 20

No, I am not getting a new hairstyle. This is what I looked like at 8:30 Friday morning during my EEG.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a test that measures and records the electrical activity of your brain. Special sensors (electrodes) are attached to your head and hooked by wires to a computer.

It was a very relaxing test, because I was supposed to be still for twenty minutes after twenty-three electrodes were attached to my head, and one near my heart.

Cerwin used my cell phone to take these pictures.

Twelve hours later I was speaking at a ladies’ retreat near Reading, Pennsylvania – for Cornerstone Mennonite Fellowship.

Cerwin had to come along, because I cannot drive until all my tests are completed due to my accident in late December. He helped me set up, enjoyed the good food, then made sure my PowerPoint was up and running before going back to the motel room to relax. He said he was well occupied by watching “Gold Rush” on TV for two hours. He loves that show.

I am enjoying my time with this fabulous group of ladies, and will tell you more about the retreat in the next few posts.
