hmmmm

I was able to get an appointment with my neurologist a couple of days earlier. and Finally, my office has declared me on short term disability, which means I no longer have to call everyday to let them know that I am not coming in.   I'm hoping that my Doctor will finally have some answers for me.  At this time my left thumb is partially "dead".  I mean, I can use it, but if I touch it, it feels dead, and if I reach for something with my left hand, I get this searing pain across the same thumb, like something is tearing....hurts really badly.

My neck keeps getting stiffter..I can no longer touch my chin to my chest, and every time I turn to look either right or left, my neck "cracks/pops" and hurts.  At night, my neck hurts no matter in what position I try  to sleep.  And I feel like I'm shaking on the inside, kind of like when you've over exerted yourself and your muscles start shaking.   Then there is the feeling of numbness that shows up on my shoulders/arms/back and especially my face.

Today my youngest took me to Wal-Mart to buy a few things.  I tried to walk while shopping but my shoulders and arms felt so heavy, I gave up and ended up using one of the electric shopping carts they provide.  And even that was hard because I felt like strength was slowly giving out.   Luckily, I only had to buy a few items and we came right back home.

Well  time to try and get some sleep.  Tomorrow is another day.

Thank you LORD for all the blessings you have given me.  Please grant me another day.

AMEN
