Got "released" after almost 2 hrs. It was all cognitive tests. He told me before we started that if I feel as if I'm doing poorly not to get bent out of shape, that the tests were meant to be hard, but I could be doing really well.
It was a list of pairs of words, he'd read them then tell me a word and I'd have to give him the pair word...the first time I did poorly, We did it 3 more times throughout the morning and by the 4th time I remembered all but one word pair.
Then there were patterns in a grid. You'd look at it and then he would place a bunch of cards with patterns on them and I'd have to put the piece in the correct box. When there were only 3 I did well, but any more than that and I couldn't remember the patterns, let alone which box on the grid they went in.
I also had to draw pix that he showed me. Towards the end of the exam he made me draw them again. Of the 5 I could only remember 2.
He didn't tell me how I did-said it's up the adjudicator in Springfield. I was exhausted afterwards. Then I hobbled to my car and came home.
I decided that what will be will be...I know I'm not up to snuff anymore. Especially when I take my inlaws to appointments I'd cancelled but didn't remember cancelling them

I can't do my checkbook anymore, and I even have trouble ordering my and the inlaws' meds. This isn't even considering the fact that I can't stand for more than 5 minutes before my legs start hurting from spasms.
I'm just fortunate that my DH is still working and has insurance. I am truly blessed.
Thanks to all of you for your well wishes and friendship...as I said, I'm blessed
Now I have to take MIL for her pacemaker exam...see ya!!
