Felt Like Two Days

Today was one of those days that felt like two days. Not that it was a bad day... just long and one thing after another. Nothing exciting to report.

Sensory:
-Pins and needles: 6 left foot all evening (but it was minimal all day!)
-Tingles: 0
-Paresthesias (burning): 3
-Paresthesias (other): 0
-Numbness: 4 left foot, pretty much all fingertips, and of course still my heels and my left baby toe/foot. The baby toe area is slowly spreading. Very slowly.
-Vision: 2, still no pain, woohoo! Just kind of blurry. And amoebae.
-Nerve pain: 6 this afternoon and evening, off and on--my bad leg, naturally

Motor:
-Gait: 1
-Sore muscles: 3
-Fine motor: 1
-Weak muscles: 5, lifted my skis today and could not believe how heavy they are. How did I sling these over my shoulder eight months ago?
-Spasticity: 3

Cognitive:
-Language processing: 3, word finding problems and losing my train of thought often
-Memory: 2
-Attention: 0
-Confusion: 3, I actually had to THINK about what a green arrow means... yeah, it means that I can go and the people across from me can't

General:
-Fatigue: 1--practically normal
-Balance: 2
-Sleep: 3, 7.5 hours (maybe I should make a new scale for this, lol)
-Bladder: 1

I am disappointed that my cognitive stuff has been worse the last couple of days, and the pain sucks, but I am soooo happy that my fatigue is down. That makes all the difference in the world.
