Praise worthy walking

I am finishing my second day of no cane usage. It’s been an interesting episode. My hands still feel like they have pins and needles and my left hand looks kind of like I’ve had a stroke the way it functions and cramps up. My right is fully functional now but still has pins and needles that feel like little bubbles popping sometimes. My legs are still heavy but for the most part it’s just like normal drop foot now instead of the massive ankle weight feeling I had before. The mshug isn’t painful. Just annoying so that’s good. It was painful when I slept but now I think it’s almost gone completely.   I’m still bruised two weeks later from the attempted iv. But I am on the mend and catching up with laundry. So all is well. 

MRI and last round of ivsm

I got my mri yesterday. It took some time to get a good image due to my bra strap of my sports bra interfering. They had to draw blood too through the iv, which was interesting. They had to put a turnicate on and essential squeeze the blood out. It was not comfortable. 

It was before the last ivsm. Which was more painful than the other two treatments. But I made it through. When they were taking the tape off they ripped out the iv. It kind of feels like it’s still there in my hand. I’m a bit bruised from the initial tries to get iv in. 

But anyway, I’m starting to use the oral steroids today. I started at 10:15 am and am currently really itchie. Other than that, I should be good. That means it’s working, right?

Ivsm

Well I’m on day two of iv solumedrol. It took them four tries to get my iv in, like I thought it might so I asked them to put it where it can stay in. I’m just waiting to hear back from dr Webb if I can get my mri done while the iv is still in. I haven’t noticed a big change or anything. It’s hard for me to walk thus the heavy dose of drugs. And my balance is off and my hands are numb. My legs feel like they have ankle weights on them.
