Ok, don't laugh but I got confused. Yes, I admit it I got confused as to where my neurologist office was and parked in the wrong parking lot. Well, I was told I could walk to their office but I didn't know how far it was. I was using the walker and it was quite a distance. By the end of the walk I was exhausted and frustrated which led to tremors. Well, the hospital staff of course got ahold of me because they just weren't sure what was going on. I was stammering but it really was just because I had worn myself out. So, they were going to take me to the ER but I refused to go back to that place and said just get me to my doctor's office and I'll be fine. Luckily there was a doctor there and he checked my pulse and ordered a wheelchair and they took me on to the doctor so I didn't end up in the ER. The neurologist office said they could not allow me to drive given how bad the tremors were at that moment so they called my mom and her husband who came and got me. He did tell mom that as a neurologist he has really done all he can and thinks conversion is the diagnosis and that stress and anxiety brings on the tremors. I also know he asked me some questions as to what date it was but I had no idea. I did know it was October but I always have to check my phone for the date. I also got the day of the week wrong but I got the year right. But, I think a lot of that had to do with being upset and the fact that the girls were off school and just a lot of things going on. So, he did tell my mom that he wants me to see a movement specialist and that he wants me to go to MUSC in Charleston. Continue with counseling and he will see me back in January. So, that was my day. Mom and Vance brought me home and I took my medicine and went to bed. The tremors always make me so tired and add the walk just got the best of me. But, I'm glad to be going to MUSC. They are very good down there and I think this is a good idea.
Now, for the fun news. The girls got to go to the fair today with their mom and a young lady from our Church. They had a ball. I'm not sure how Eva was still operating when she got home but she is just a go getter. This morning Cottia was very clingy so I asked her if she was worried about daddy while she was at the fair. Her answer was I really didn't think about you because I was having too much fun.....not sure how to take that but it made me laugh.
Now for an Eva story. The girls are going camping with Mawmaw and Pawpaw this weekend so Emily and I get a weekend to ourselves. I really hope we can go to a movie or at least go out to dinner and just enjoy a quiet house all though I will continue to admit that I have to turn on Eva's music and Cottia's light in order for me to sleep. Well, Emily asked Eva what she wanted to wear to sleep in. Her answer...."pajama's." What a sense of humor and it brought a well deserved laugh.
Well, that is about it. Another interesting day in the life. I pray blessings and God's grace on all who read this and wish you a great weekend.
