Oh Kathie......

I agree with 4-eyes, Quandry and Celeste. Rest and neuro visit should be on top of your list. Sounds like you already did too much without knowing it before the dog got that wash! When you have to walk/do things slowly where others, like the nurses unwittingly pressurize you, YOU have to look after YOU. Setting your own parameters letting people know in advance that your walking may take that little extra time before you even get going. It is easier for people to slow down to your level than for you to speed up to theirs - especially at this time. Your muscles simply cannot hurry up and also have a fluctuating performance level. Have clear expectations of other people understanding your limitations even if they may not always be able to understand them anyway.

Sounds like you have done an excellent job of adapting to your triggers but I do hope you can figure something out with your neuro so life becomes easier for u again soon
