Reflections on an EMG

Heather’s EMG went better than expected.  That is to say that it wasn’t the worst thing she’s ever been through, not that it was actually pleasant.  The doctor was Andrew Nelson and, like I said, he was funny and good at his job.  It’s just that an EMG is a pretty sucky test to start with.  At any rate, the test came back mostly normal.  The only anomaly that Dr. Nelson mentioned was that there was some “old nerve damage” in her left calf.  Now, as far as I could see the screen, the left calf never did show the sine-wave during the conductivity test, nor did it ever give the clear raindrops on the signal level test.  I’m no expert on EMG, but that seems like more than just “old nerve damage” to me.  But again, I am not a doctor.  We’ll see what Dr. Maiman has to say when he calls.
