After my PT evaluation on Monday, I fear it may be too late for this walking device to help in reactivating the muscle in my right leg. Any progress realized in prior PT sessions has gone south. My right hip is weak, weak, weak. What has that to do with my leg muscle, you might ask.
Everything.
What the upper body cannot support effects the lower body and vice versa. All of our body parts work together to create a fully functioning unit. My body parts are obviously not communicating and communicating properly.
And then there is the possibility that I am undergoing a “relapse”, a “flare”, or whatever it is we call the event of heightened MS symptoms. I wouldn’t be surprised. My personal life hasn’t necessarily been fun lately. Yesterday I messed up the date on a nail appointment and probably won’t be asked back. “Tis a shame. I really, really like the way (and price) of her services. For several days now my entire body has felt like a big ol’ Mack truck ran right over me. I h ave also been feeling DOWN. Like really depressed and sad. Kinda like the song, “nobody likes me, everybody hates me, think I’ll go eat worms” kind of sad. And today I bowled the worst game in three years. (64!)
Things can only look “up”, though. Tomorrow my parents, my aunt, and I are travelling to their hometown. I am certain it will look nothing like I remember; but, that’s okay ’cause I get to meet my son’s roommate’s mother for the first time. So, there is a rainbow in the offing.
Well, that’s enough about me. Here’s something totally unrelated to my dysfunctional brain waves Let’s talk about vitamin D. Do you take it? How much? How often? Is it really necessary?
Take a gander at this article and tell me your thoughts.
