My surgeon is working with someone studying the before and after effects of brain surgery on cognition. I did two hours of cognative testing today to contribute to this work. Attention span, memory, shapes, definitions, spatial something or other, whatnot, etc. I did ok but it was exhausting. And I’m not fixing typos here.
Other testing to date:
- A hearing test: passed.
- VEMP testing: passed.
- Balance testing: failed.
- Visual balance testing: failed.
- Pre-op physical: passed.
- Pre-op blood tests: passed.
All that’s left is the final pre-op conversation with the surgeon, a haircut (because I want a nice, intential bald spot), and the surgery itself.
