Went to bed last night knowing it would be a difficult night.\u00a0 However, I made it to 5:15 am and was awakened by my alarm.\u00a0 I couldn’t shut it off because my hands from the wrist down was completely numb.\u00a0 I ended up turning it off by watching my hand and then moving my arm until the finger was over the silence button and dropping my hand on my phone.<\/p>\n
Feeling and some measure of control has returned to my extremities, but I’m still quite shaky.\u00a0 The pain level is low, but present.\u00a0 My trouble areas are basically, my extremities and my neck.\u00a0 The physical movement required to type and drink coffee is painful.\u00a0 I’m watching what I type, as I type it.\u00a0 I normally don’t, but my motor control is diminished, thus, I mistype a word on the average of one every sentence.\u00a0 My fingers just hit the wrong keys.<\/p>\n
Pouring coffee into my cup proved to be a challenge, too.\u00a0 I’ve purchased a Ninja Coffee Bar (CF091) so I can make coffee a cup at a time so I don’t have to fight with pouring anymore.\u00a0 Being debilitated is one thing, but not being able to serve yourself a cup of java is the last straw.\u00a0 LOL.\u00a0 I am really looking forward to the maker’s arrival.\u00a0 I should be able to simply make a cup of cappuccino without leaving the house or destroying myself.<\/p>\n
I think I twitched all night long.\u00a0 I remember having a dream where musicians were laughing with me.\u00a0 They though I was keeping time with their music when I was just having rhythmic spasms…in time with the music they were playing.<\/p>\n
I just relaxed for a minute trying to gather my thoughts.\u00a0 In my internal silence, I could feel the spasms fire off randomly throughout my body.\u00a0 This tells me the event is not over.\u00a0 There is still more to come.\u00a0 Ugh.\u00a0 I’m not mentally ready for an attack.\u00a0 I wanted more free time.\u00a0 I had plans for the day.\u00a0 The spasms are funny.\u00a0 I can feel tears fall down my cheeks.\u00a0 I’m not crying.\u00a0 My tear ducts are in spasm.\u00a0 LOL.\u00a0 I could be an actor if I could get the spasms to fire where I want them.<\/p>\n
I’ve got a book on Python, a programming language.\u00a0 I’m going to try to make headway through some of the exercises today.\u00a0 The book is very thick which means I’ll need to put it down on something while I read it.<\/p>\n
I’ve got my development environment for my hurricane\/weather tracking system built.\u00a0 I need to lay down some tracks of code now.\u00a0 The pain makes thinking clearly difficult.\u00a0 I’m thinking that I may create files with lots of comments about what the code in that area is supposed to do.\u00a0 Then go back when I’m more functional and write the code.\u00a0 This method will allow for nicely documented code, and I can make headway on the restructure.<\/p>\n
Hands are tingling and uncoordinated.\u00a0 Mind unfocused. Walking challenged.\u00a0 I may pull the chair and just relax in it today.\u00a0 Maybe using the wheelchair will give my body rest and shorten the event duration and recovery time.<\/p>\n
I’m considering a ITB increase, but my baseline is fine.\u00a0 My acutes aren’t cute.\u00a0 I don’t know what the proper course of action is.\u00a0 This is all very confusing, which is the main purpose for this blog.\u00a0 I will review my thoughts later when I can think.<\/p>\n
Thanks for reading and God bless us all,<\/p>\n
