Tuesday

I woke up with my head playing drums for me. My headache was a 5 or 6 until the afternoon, at which about 6PM or so when it became aggravated and became a 8. It stayed that way most of the rest of the evening and for sure made me less patient and more likely to grouch on people. My balance has stunk today as well. I've counted 9 times today where I've tripped over something and either nearly fallen or fallen. I twanged my back with one of theme, as I got up from my computer to tell Kadee to go home.

My back and legs have stiffened in the last 5 or so hours, more the since 2AM. They are being stubborn and don't want to bend, or will only cooperate when bending at odd and "robotic" angles. The one consolation I guess is that if I stand for any length of time my back starts doing it's rubber-band back arching thing. It is still stiff when sitting down, and screams in any posture, especially since 2...

Coordination has been OK, nothing more nasty than a 5 and memory/focus/concentration was better today, but after dinner it kinda went to crap. I spent an hour and a half messing with Google Docs trying to do some really simple things. This is why I wouldn't want to be making life-critical decisions in a job right now. "Let's see, which one of these syringes do I give the patient? I know one's a pain killer, one's an antibiotic and the other a heart medicine. The patient has severe allergies to pain killers... I'll take the blue one since I can't remember what the jargon on the sides means..."

Ok, so maybe it wasn't that bad today but some days it is.

Oh, one more thing, having more of the talking gibberish thing happening. Since the first really noticeable one, I've noticed at least one or so every day. Don't know what that's all about but I bet when people hear it they must think I'm either drunk or messing around...

G'night. Gonna smoke and sleep. Get to go to Steve's B-Day tonight and then prolly sleep over at my mom's so I can go to a painfully early Physical Therapy @ 10.
