ect treatments

I went in to Riverbend this morning to have my final ECT done. After sitting there for hours with an IV started, Dr. Velez came in and asked my mom and I if we had heard. Unsure what he was talking about, we asked. He told us that the machine was broken and it wasn't fixable this morning. So, after getting about half of a bag of IV fluids, the nurse took the IV out and sent me on my way. We went to meet up with Grandma for breakfast at IHOP. My mom got news from the doctor today that we aren't going to reschedule my treatment from today. I'm pretty excited about being finished with treatments. My head has started to feel a little off lately, so I'm excited to regain my short-term memory and feel normal again. I was just trying to explain to my mom how my head feels off and I think the best way I can describe it is that when I move my eyes or my head, things don't track completely normal. Things just feel off and it's a really odd feeling. It shouldn't take too long for things to go back to normal. I am going down to California this weekend with my mom and sister for my cousin Emily's bridal shower. Then I'm going to ride back up to Washington with Hannah for the next week (or so). I couldn't be more excited to get out of town hang out with my sister & brother-in-law!
