When I thought it couldn't get any worst
I had the scariest thing happened today.
I fell asleep in the car. I was in the fetal position.
When I got up, I felt dizzy.
Entering elevator I was fine, slight pins and needles.
By the time I got to the second floor, I had no feelings in my leg below the knees. I
was so scared. I had no idea what was going on. I had this overwhelming fear of falling.
With a derby gal, there is no fear of falling.
I went into my PT appointment, and I went through all kinds of tests to see what it could have happened.
They are figuring it was a pinched nerve in my spine.
My legs still feel like they have lotion on them. Heavier feeling on my right side then my left.
All this after I was told by my pain management doctor, that all we are doing now is treating symptoms.
I was told I would never get better. There is no magic pill to cure me, no surgery to heal me. This may even be the best I would ever get.
I still refuse it accept that. I will get better or die trying.
