Catching Up

Hello everyone.  Sorry for the delay, but I forgot my email address for the blog.  I got it now.  Last Friday was my grocery day.  I enjoyed it until, about half the day.  Every time I walked, my right foot when I applied pressure to it I had pain in my hip.  It was sharp, and it has happened since then, just I don't know what it means.  A lot of people tell me oh everything you are going through is because you are getting older.  Really, some of the older people I know said I shouldn't be going through any of this yet.  This Sunday I forgot how to spell worship, I had to look for it on the program, I almost forgot how to write service (twice), I miss spelt gospel and even now it doesn't look write and to top it all off I missed my mouth when I was eating this happened once but it made me nervous a little thinking that I might just do it again.  Which wouldn't be that big of deal if I hadn't of been at church.  I think that is all I have to catch up on, I try to keep notes so I can type them in here later but I need to start putting them in one place 'cause I think I lost some of them.  Thanks for reading God Bless.

The Next Step

Hello everyone,
     Okay so my appointment yesterday went pretty good.  I have some good news and some finally we are getting somewhere news.  My new doctor, has ruled out MS, Demincia, and Alzheimer's which is good because I was afraid that I really could be getting into the early stages of Alzheimer's, I use to joke about it but I don't think I will be doing that anymore.  That has to be very very scary for people who do have it. 
 On my next appointment I will be tested for the cognitive testing which will last five hours.  He will be looking into Parkinson's and a couple other things. 
 Yesterday  I was asking the kids about homework and I said okay we need to turn off the homework instead of turning off the T.V. 
Today so far was going pretty good.  My son is home sick today and I was suppose to meet a friend of mine at church but I found myself along with my son sleeping until it was way past the time that I was suppose to meet her.  I tried to call the church, but she had left already and there is three numbers on my phone with the same name except one is spelt wrong and I know who that one is.  I texted my husband and he gave me their home number but there is no answer.  I feel really bad about not showing up and probably would feel a lot better about it once I can talk to her.  I was also suppose to bring a suggestion box to the church too.  I can drop that off tomorrow because I still have to paint it.  Thanks for reading and if I can think or remember or I anything different I will be back to blog about it.  God Bless.

This Weekend

Hello to all.  I have found myself caring around a little notebook and write things down that I want to blog about so I won't forget.  So now I am going over my notes about this weekend.  Let's start with Friday.

Friday night my right forearm started twitching, I remember it because my forearms have never twitching before.  It was king of strong. 

Saturday morning I almost fell over backward, I lost my footing I guess.  Then my right side under my rib cage was twitching, this twitching lasted awhile.  I also tried to spell nice and got the letters backwards, I think I spelt it neci instead of nice.

Sunday, today my fingers on my left hand are still sore, not stiff or anything.  I am having trouble spelling again today, or I am leaving out words when I am writing.  I was however able to write a children's story this morning.  I did have a twitch briefly in my abdomen while in Sunday school.  There is a sharp pain on my left should and that feels like jabs, it comes and goes.   It has stopped now.  I guess that is all I have for now.  Thanks for reading.  God Bless.

Something new

Hello everyone.  Well today there was something new.  My right leg muscle cramped, I guess you can call it that it just felt really heavy and tight.  Today at church when I walked up the stairs, both of my legs felt like lead.  It wasn't my whole leg even early it was my calf muscles.  Once I got up stairs they felt a very tired, but that feeling didn't last too long.  Thanks for reading.

Thumb twitching

Hello everyone.  I hope everyone had a great and blessed day.  I did.  This morning my thumb on my left hand twitched.  I'm not sure for how long.  I think it has twitched before now, I never saw it for sure until I saw it for myself today. My stomach in the middle I felt a little twitch and just a few minutes ago my eyebrow on my left side just twitched.  My knee sometimes twitches and it feels so strong like it is moving the knee cap.  I haven't been able to see it for myself because whenever I feel it I move and it goes away.  That one should be pretty interesting to see if I ever get the chance.  Other things that have happened today or sometime yesterday is...I forgot all about the pork chops we  were going to have for dinner last night, I left them in the microwave, the power went out and I didn't think about it anymore I called my husband and he my picked up Chinese food.  I don't know how long I have been doing this but for a little while now I have been forgetting to shut the toilet lid after using it.  It use to bug me. I get foot cramps that are painful and toes get stuck but it doesn't last long.  It might be because it is cold outside and stuff gets stiff I guess.  Oh and for about a year now my side or the muscle right underneath my rib I don't remember which one, but when I cough, a deep cough or laugh really hard I get stiff right there a painful cramp right there.  I'm not sure if it means anything or not. Thanks for reading.

Update...

Happy New Year everyone.  Okay so here we are in a new year.  I have a new insurance company so my cognitive testing was put on hold.  I have such a wonderful husband who made all the calls and arranged for my new appointment for me.  This is kind of a set back because it is further away and I have to go to a consultation all over again, but that's okay.  It's kind of like getting a second opinion.  Anyways, the latest on my twitching and stuff is... my left foot has started twitching now.  I felt it for the first time on Friday night and when I went to see if I could see it for myself it stopped.  It started twitching again Saturday night, but again I moved slowly in hopes that it wouldn't stop so I could see it but no such luck, it stopped before I actually saw it.  Sunday morning I woke up to my left hand middle and four finger was very stiff and felt as if had been broken.  My husband said that it was probably from the cold because his was a little stiff too.  They feel alright to me now.  Thanks for reading and I will try to keep this updated more frequently.
