I called the neuro's emergency number. The on-call neuro (not mine) is going to call me back.
I went upstairs and talked to my dad about this. Told him what happened and what it felt like things are doing. It feels like my leg doesnt want to follow all my directions.
I was going to go get my hair cut, but I think I'm not going to do that now, because I'm not sure that I can drive, my ankle and foot feel so weird. Almost like I'm not quite exactly sure where my foot is. (proprioreception????)
I really do not like this.
Oh, and my boyfriend has been picking on me about the concert, because I apparently didnt jump up and down for joy when he told me he was getting me a concert ticket. So, he's probably going to think I'm making up an excuse to not go. The way my foot feels right now, I'm not sure if I want to go.
and the on-call neuro just called me back. He told me to not walk a bunch this weekend, so no zoo tomorrow. He said I could do the concert, but to rest my leg all weekend.
I guess I'll get my going-to-the-store cane that I carry in the store just in case I get vertigo and start using it more often.
The on-call neuro thinks that this might be heat related. I'm on antibiotics because I havent felt all that great since the dentist visit, (but I think the foot numbness was going on before that)
I had just woken up (was woken up by the charlie horse from HECK) and my dad told me when I was upstairs that my face was red, like I was warm or something. So, the neuro thinks that it's heat related, but he told me to just relax today and rest, dont do a lot of walking, dont go to the zoo tomorrow, and if I have any more problems, call him back.
I just feel really weird right now. I'm thinking the antibiotics are making me feel a bit sick now. I'm going to turn my ceiling fan on even tho it bugs me, and I think I'm going to go get an ice pack or two out of the freezer. (those icepacks that come with my C are going to come in handy!
I better warn the boyfriend that I'm not doing the zoo tomorrow (which means he has to drive all the way back uptown after the zoo to pick me up for the concert...I better give him gas money)
