Struggling

I am pretty weak and tired today, and it was hard to interpret at church. I just wanted to lie down. I wanted to be at church, but my body was begging for rest.

I slept okay last night, except that I woke up at 4:30 and had some trouble going back to sleep. It was hot. Or I felt hot, anyway. So I slept off and on until it was time to get up, at 7:00. I probably got almost 8 hours of sleep altogether, but maybe I needed a little more. I hope I'm not getting worse again.

It's only noon, so things might change (usually mornings are better), but let's go ahead and do the numbers for the morning.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 2--right heel
-Hypersensitivity: 4
-Paresthesias: 1
-Numbness: 2
-Vision: 1

Motor:
-Gait: 2
-Sore muscles: 5--mostly my arms. Fault interpreting.
-Fine motor: 3
-Weak muscles: 6

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 2
-Memory: 1
-Attention: 2
-Confusion: 3--ready to throw my socks in the trash, forgetting where the milk is, etc.

General:
-Fatigue: 6
-Balance: 2
-Sleep: 3
-Bladder: 3
-Anxiety: 2

I'm nervous for the new doctor tomorrow. I hope she listens to me. And I hope I can think well tomorrow.
