I’ve been saying for years that my temperature gauge is broken and I no longer can control my body temperature. Check out what happened to me today:
When I woke up, my face was hot because the temperature was at 72°. That was before I got out of bed. My Mom turned the temperature down to 71° and she put it on the air conditioner. I had the hardest time transferring to my chair from my bed. I was no assistance at all for my Mom and that scared me! I was in and out of consciousness as I leaned all the way back in my chair once I got into it. I slide my body backwards, so I am more comfortable sitting. My Mom had to fasten my pelvis stabilizer because I couldn’t move.
I was still terrified once I realized that my arms could not move at all. My Mom had to leave so I just told her what I needed, and I completely felt like Wesley in the Princess Bride when his arms weren’t working after he was dead and miracle Max brought him back to life.
I kind of chuckled to myself with that thought but I was still terrified. My Mom had to do everything for me. She put my phone tether around my neck and gave me my contacts to put in my undershirt so when I put them in my eyes, they are room temperature. She had to leave and I told her that I needed two Yetis of water and two shakes. She put my Goli on a fork and put that on my lap because I could not move my arms yet.
I received my Social Security/Disability check today so I placed my Target order that is coming tomorrow. I sat in my chair with my hands on my lap because my arms were not moving. It took one full rosary and a full chaplet for me to begin to start to move.
I know everything that I need to do once I get paid and I know it was just going to take a bit longer. My mind was swimming and I didn’t know how I was going to get control of it. Again, I was terrified!
It’s the change of season. That is really getting to me! I was comfortable and I continued praying and slowly got everything I needed to get done, done.
When she got home, I get ready for the day and I had my dinner before she left again. We put air on when we are working in the restroom because it’s a small room and two people’s body heat is a lot! So the heat was off when she left. I went to church and then began to freeze. I fell asleep as I was huddled within myself. My arms were in my sweatshirt, and I passed out.
This was also so scary and my body has been hot and then it was cold, so I really don’t know what’s going on! All I know is that my body did not feel well for most of the day!
All I can do at this point is hope that tomorrow is a better day. I will check the weather and make my decisions for overnight tonight. #MSsucks!!! 😒😒😒😒…
I thought of purple hearts but I’m not going to watch that movie now because that’s more warmer weather viewing. I’ll post this song in the comments today as well as the clip of Wesley without his arms working because that’s how I felt this morning!!! That and terrified!!!
