Two hours of memory & cognitive testing done this afternoon. Wasn't looking forward to it after such a bad night and morning with William. Then as the researcher was on her way to the house - minutes away - I got "that smell "! Hauled William off to change him and found he'd been manoeuvring his trousers etc - trying to get the offending material out to hide it probably, but I found him too soon! Undies and trousers had got hit though, so we had to do a complete change.
The tests were really interesting. Some I found easy, some tough. They measured memory, cognitive function and concentration. Some I wasn't good at at all, and then one mental sorting test - she called a list of letters & numbers, mixed up, and I had to sort them mentally and call them out, numbers first in numerical order, then the letters, in alphabetical order. And the list got longer each time. Eg she would say 3g7e2k4j. And I'd have to sort it mentally to 2347egjk. Not at all easy to do just verbally! But she said I actually got much further than anyone else they've tested so far in that one! But by the time it was over, I had some splitting headache! And having had to give 5 saliva samples in the two hours. 4 to measure stress levels, and 1 for DNA testing I was parched!
