Subject: Give me Hamm on 5 Hold the Mayo
I couldn't resist the subject line. For those who don't recognize it,
> it's from the movie Airplane.

> Anyway, here is my progress so far:
> I saw the doctors and had an initial evaluation. I am scheduled for a
> nerve conduction test at 1:15 (so this will be brief). I also had my
> blood drawn. I've never had so much taken except for a blood donation.
> I hope that means that they won't need any more while I'm here. >
> Pinprick tests, reflexes and resistance all showed what I already
> suspected. I have no feeling at all under my toes and reduced feeling
> up toward the knees. I have little to no reflex in knees and ankle
> joints, and possibly wrists and elbows. There is some minor loss of
> sensation in my hands as well up to the wrists.
>
> My walking gait is relatively normal and there is still some good
> strength in the lower legs, except for the toes.
>
> I have an MRI scheduled for tomorrow and nothing else at this point.
> Which means that I may have VERY GOOD NEWS for Barbara, I may be home
> tomorrow night.
