Mobility Regained (somewhat) (a little)

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I'm still waiting to hear if there's any arthritis in me, but for now, i

have something to celebrate. I made it manhattan from where I

am in Brooklyn, but I can't say I'm in very good shape now.

Starting last Saturday, my walking was so bad that I couldn't get

more than half a block, leaving me effectively housebound.

When I woke up Thursday, I noticed that I seemed to be walking

a bit easier. I tried walking the three blocks from my building to

the nearest subway, and although the walking was

uncomfortable and with flashes of pain, I got there and back.

Friday (still today, for my hours), I got on the train, visited a friend

and went back. I walked about ten blocks, three to the train and

back and two to my friend and back.

Well, at least I can get around. I'm waiting to hear from the

neurologist about my CAT scan. She's been on vacation and will

be back Monday, so I was told. My Primary insists that she can't

give a diagnosis until she has the neurologist's input/diagnosis.

The problem seems to involve cerebral arteries. So, damage

from that or RA/OA or who-knows-what A. I won't post until I have

more word.

Happy New Year, everyone!
