I'm procrastinating. I really need to get off of the computer and call the neurologist. I am still waiting to find results on blood tests that were done a week and a half ago. The neurologist said I have some rare neurological disorder. I don't even remember what it was called, just that he was mumbling something about mitochondria. I don't speak "Doctorese". As for this morning, I am operating on 2 hours of sleep because I was ill last night. I don't take any painkillers. I don't want to be a zombie and fall asleep during my college classes. Hopefully I can take a nap before physical therapy this afternoon. But if I find out something horrible from the doctor, will I be able to sleep? I will probably be online and on the phone, informing everyone that these horrible symptoms I have been experiencing are part of some hideous disorder. Part of me is thinking that I have been misdiagnosed so many times that I don't care what this doctor says. I gotta make that call anyway.
Be grateful every time you take a step, after a good night of pain-free sleep, after sitting through a college class without having involuntary movement and having to prop up your arm when you raise your hand to answer a question. Be grateful you don't have to possibly hear life-changing news over the phone at 9:40AM on a Monday morning.
