Absolutely. I get ECT treatments, where they use electricity to induce a seizure. When you're seizing, usually the only thing that moves is your toes. So what do I do, when my trratment happens to fall on April Fools Day? Superglue googly eyes to my toes so they boggle around as I twitch πππππ On normal days I wear goofy socks, usually matching some kind of theme for the nearest holiday or season.
I also brought in a Pikachu sticker to try and put on the ECT machine. I couldn't get away with that, but they did let me put it on the equipment bin that goes along with the machine and the cart it's on. It lightens the mood a bit.
I have always wondered about ECT. I have horrific images in my head about it. (70βs/80βs child). Iβve heard itβs much better now? If itβs one less med in my bodyβ¦ π§
