Hopping on the Thalys train to Paris

And now the wait for MRI results starts…
Yesterday I had my MRI scan, after blacking out and an inconclusive EEG recording. For everyone who never had a MRI scan: It is one crazy ride…
Chris Valleskey mentioned on Twitter that I should think of the loud noises as dubstep, which doesn’t even come close in reality. The beat is there, the strange noises are there, but dubstep never comes close to the volume of the MRI scanning machine.
But now we have to wait for January 4 to get the results. This is three weeks earlier than the original schedule, but still it’s a long wait. But I’m looking at it on the positive side of things, since it could be nothing and just an one time black out after all.
Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto show was fantastic
Last night we we’re at Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto show in Ahoy Rotterdam. I’ve seen Coldplay live many times before, but this was their best performance.

Todays EEG recording was inconclusive
Today I had my EEG recording, after blacking out for 4 hours. The recording was inconclusive. The doctors noticed some small interference. It is probably nothing or just noise, but to rule everything out, a MRI scan is the next thing to do.
So now I hope the appointment for an MRI scan can be made quickly, so we’re worry free by Christmas.
So, I blacked out for 4 hours…
A few days ago I had to take the train back home, as always. That’s where it goes black.
My memory is back, about 4 hours later, at a train station where I wasn’t supposed to be, in the direct opposite direction of my hometown. I’m sure I haven’t been sleeping – I didn’t ‘wake up’ when my memory came back and I was already outside of the train.
And that, scares the crap out of me. I don’t know what I did, who was with me or what happend around me. Why did I end up at that other train station? And why did I black out? It’s a long list of questions, that will never be answered.
In the train back home, three train conductors thought of an epileptic seizure after hearing what had happened to me. I still didn’t have a clue and the only thing I could think of was getting home, back to my girlfriend who was terribly worried.
The doc checked me up the next day, who couldn’t pinpoint the problem. It didn’t give me a headache, no troubles at all getting up after just two hours of sleep. It is like the world continued spinning and my brain stopped recording it for 4 hours. To make sure it’s nothing too serious, I’m having an EEG recording soon.
UPDATE: EEG recording is scheduled for tomorrow, Tuesday December 6th. Hope I’ll have some good news then…
Nice and small Christmas tree this year

We will be in Paris this Christmas anyway. :)
