And Now We Wait

I dropped off my paperwork and MRIs at the university hospital MS center today! The secretary said she will call me tomorrow or Monday to let me know if they can get me in sooner. Of course I called Dr. Rob's secretary, so she can bug them.


Sensory:

-Pins and needles: 1

-Tingles: 3, trying to remember where... left leg and right arm, I think

-Paresthesias (burning): 2

-Paresthesias (other): 0

-Numbness: 1, I guess--I haven't check my foot lately

-Vision: 2

-Nerve pain: 4, I'm adding this category because there's a difference between the burning and other nerve pain. The nerve pain in my left leg has been significant sometimes--down my sciatic nerve, especially in my butt and lower leg.

Motor:

-Gait: 2

-Sore muscles: 4, but it's really more the tendons than the muscles in my legs

-Fine motor: 3

-Weak muscles: 4

Cognitive:

-Language processing: 3

-Memory: 3

-Attention: 0

-Confusion: 2

General:

-Fatigue: 6, but I did a lot

-Balance: 3

-Sleep: 4, got 7 hours (boo)

-Bladder: 3, I don't know why I downgraded it yesterday. It really hasn't changed.

-Anxiety: 2, when I was going to the MS Center. Nervous about how to get my packet to the right person, nervous that they would get me in soon.

Grieving: Honestly, I think I've been pushing it aside. Today I was too busy to work on it.
