Major Setback

This has been a horrible week for me ..................it all started with severe , cramping pains mostly in my legs and lower lumbar area , yet all over my body also. I could not sleep, function, and started experiencing mental confusion to the point that I could not type on my computer, or even move about without total uncoordinated movements. I ended up in the hospital with a dangerously low sodium level. They administered continuous iv sodium chloride solution for two days to bring my level back up within a normal range. l
Just begged a ride home when they finally discharged me yesterday and am currently staggering around here trying to take care of my two little critters and maintain a vertical position. It is a horrible experience being this uncoordinated-like a preview of what post-stroke could be like.
However, like alsways I'll just "keep on keepin' on" and it's got to get better. One thing I have my sheer stubborn persistence going for me!
