CT scan at the hospital

It's time for another CT scan. One more concentrated on the tumor. The CT scan itself is nothing but I was getting anxious because of the contrast solution and also imagining the closeness of warding day. Imagining I will soon be warded and then be a vegetable being cooked on was scaring the hell out of me. CT time. The uncle in front of me had to change clothes. Fortunately I didn't have to and the great thing, no contrast solution.

I also take the chance to try to get some anticonvulsion medication so that I can drive. We manage to see one of the medical officers at the neuro clinic, The one I thought was Tinnesh, a Dr Sutharshan. I ask if I can get on anticonvulsion medication. He said that it was not a blanket medication. He asked whether I had convulsions. I said no. He also said that it had many side effects anyways, some not suitable for driving ie drowsiness and loss of muscle control, etc. So basically I'm stuck. Doing an internet search on anticonvulsion drugs shows all the drugs has bad side effects. Looks like I'm stuck.
