Day V Part 2

I was counting on some traffic, so I arrived in my home town a little too early, which made me decide to go home first. It was on my way anyway and I wanted to change in to something more comfortable because you never know with doctors.

Since I was home anyway I figured I would test the curtain feeling once again. It appeared to have become worse. But maybe this was due to the heat of the sun, me being hotter so to speak. I got in my car to drive to the doctor's office. Still nothing else the matter at that particular point. How different things can be, 5 minutes later.

Because 5 minutes later I parked at the doctor's office and got out of my car. As soon as I stepped out of my car I noticed something was wrong. My legs felt weird, and I mean Weird with a capital W. It is incredibly hard for me to put in to words exactly what you are experiencing, just because the exact words for this doesn't seem to have been invented yet. It felt like all the power had gone from my legs, but also not. I could tell I still had all the strength in them, but I couldn't control them the way I used to.

The walk from the car to the door of the doctor's office is only like a hundred steps, but it felt like a marathon because with each step I could tell more positively that this also was something not temporary. It was like I was having trouble keeping my balance, while I could still walk. I could just tell something was wrong with them, but I couldn't (and clearly still can't) tell exactly what it was.

But hey, I was literally on the way to the doctor's office anyway, so what better time to have this happen than now.

Hospital day 2

Rest is something you don't get much in a hospital anyway. Because when I finally fell asleep around 4am, it wasn't for long. At 6pm...
