Better

My brain was functioning better today, and I wasn't as tired. I had an easy day at work. Afterward I did some grocery shopping. I went slowly, and I was there for an hour--going slowly helped. I need to go slowly not only for my legs but for my slow brain!

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 1, had some in my right big toe--so random it makes me laugh
-Tingles: 0
-Paresthesias (burning): 1, both feet, again including right toes
-Paresthesias (other): 2, vibrations in my left foot a few times. Strong.
-Numbness: 2, the usual
-Vision: 2, the usual
-Nerve pain: 1, left sciatic

Motor:
-Gait: 2
-Sore muscles: 2, calves, quads (yesterday after I blogged my legs started hurting SO BADLY)
-Fine motor: 3, with one thing new: when I try to tap the buttons on my phone or touch something gently, I often double tap without meaning to. It is pretty annoying and weird.
-Weak muscles: 4
-Spasticity: 2--gastrocs, rectus femoris, bilaterally

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 1
-Memory: 2
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 1

General:
-Fatigue: 6
-Balance: 3
-Sleep: 3, 7.5 hours but also laid in bed and rested for a while after I woke up (was woken up, I should say)
-Bladder: 2
