The Weird

It's Wednesday of "next week." I know I said that I would start on my story and I thought since I wrote some about it on Saturday that would give me a little head start. It is however harder to write about all of this then you might think. I tried to think of what I might write for the past couple days and didn't seem to get any idea. I  mean I know what happened to me so yes of course that is still fresh in my mind. It's just the fact that I don't know what to say and how to word it, and I don't wanna miss a thing.

I guess I'll continue. After about two weeks on my walking adventure Saturday, March 27th my right foot began to tingle. I tried to shake it off and it continued....for days. So, on Monday, March 29th I decided to go to a chiropractor to see if they could fix the tingling in my foot. I thought I must have something pinched no big deal. They went a head and tried to adjust me to no avail. I was told that the muscles in my back and glutes were so tight that they couldn't get me to budge.

 Later, that same day I was over at my brother's and we set up our old 15' trampoline from when we were younger. My niece of course wanted me to jump with her, how can you say no to a three year old? So, I did which turned out to be weird cause I was already starting to have tingling now in both feet and they were becoming numb. I would compare it to a tingling and numbness you get after you are sitting on your foot for hours, and you don't even know it's asleep till you try and move. It's like you have got a dead leg. For any of you with a sibling who punches you know what I'm talking about. Anyways, when I was finished jumping which didn't last long, I jumped down lost my balance and fell back hit the bar right on my lower back. Lets just say the pain there hasn't left since.

 Then on Wednesday, March 31st  I had another chiropractic appointment. I was pretty concerned at this point. Because the tingling/numbness was creeping all the way up both legs. I also had an intense pain in my right pelvic area. I was at the chiro and they still couldn't adjust me. After that, yep there is more, and I thought to myself now this is where it gets weird.  I was having a terrible skin sensitivity in my legs, but more so in my inner thighs. It felt like a burning, tingling, pinpricking sensation that made it so I couldn't even handle the brush of my finger tip or certain clothing. That sensation continued upwards to my abdomen and chest. I would say that it affected me and remained the worse in the abdomen.

Let's just go ahead and continue with the weird. Through all of this time It's March right, it's getting to be like mid 60's. I'm sitting in my bed under the covers with sweatpants, sweatshirt and fuzzy socks on. My feet then were the coldest part of my body, and still remain to this day to be the coldest part sometimes without relief. I then began to experience urinary and bowel incontinence. TMI! I know, but if someone with Transverse Myelitis is reading this, I don't want to leave anything out. Anyways, I have to wrap this up for today I have to get to P.T.! So, they can bruise me again ha ha they got me pretty bad last time good thing I had a weekend break from them. :D
