I thought today might be a good day to answer some of the questions that I'm asked repeatedly. Kind of an FAQ for Surprise Acute Syndromes.
- Yes, the numbness is gone. It pretty much cleared up with the 5th day of IVG Treatment. I have all my feeling back.
- I don't have my reflexes back. Yes it is a strange feeling to not jump when hit with the hammer. No they don't just keep hitting harder until you jump.
- Yes, I can dress myself and brush my teeth. (this puts me way up on the bell curve with my current competition).
- Yes I have had a BM today, and thank you for asking in front of everyone.
- Yes, I'm walking, though I'm using a walker. I'm going about 50 feet but it isn't supposed to be a competition. (personal goal is 300 ft)
- No I'm not sick of playing with the up and down buttons on the bed.
- Surprisingly when asked your name and birthdate seven times a day for verification purposes it actually does get difficult to remember. I'll be seeing a memory person today... In my defense anyone at my age could easily give their child's birthday!
- Yes I am tall.
Am just catching up, having been out of the country (and internet use) for over two weeks. Just love, love, love the FAQ's, especially the ones that I would never thought to have asked (though I wish I'd been there for the BM question!!) This blog was/is such a wonderful idea, it's such a gift for us all, thanks Emily!!!
