On Wednesday dh and I had our bankruptcy hearing . I'm embarrassed to even talk about. Well, we get to the courthouse and of course there isn't enough disabled parking so I had to walk way too far with my rollator. By the time we get to our floor I'm already exhausted. The hearing room was full of other people and their attorneys. Everyone can hear what you say to the judge . As soon as I sat down I started to cry . I could not stop no matter how hard I tried. When our turn came, about 20 minutes later, we sat at the table with the judge and she looked at me and said 'you have MS, don't you?'. Then she said I wouldn't have to talk at all. Thank goodness for small favors . I still kept crying though, quiet crying, but my nose was running like a faucet, yuck. By the time we were done, I couldn't even look up when we left the room. It was just so humiliating. I know this is from my MS. I seem to have a problem with controlling my emotions lately. Stress...duh. As for the cog thing, a week ago my dh and I met with a financial adviser at our home for an hour and a half. Two days later I was at my dh's work picnic and some guy talked to me for 10 minutes like he knew me. I played along . My dh told me afterward that he was our financial adviser! I did not even have a vague recollection of the gentleman's face . Also that week, I left the water running in the bathroom sink the entire time I was putting on my make up! I didn't even notice this at all. Dh came in and turned it off and looked at me like I'd lost my mind. Now I'm scheduled for another mri. These cog problems scare me more than anything else about my MS (except for possible blindness). Thanks in advance for reading this far. Nobody understands more than all of you . Oh, btw, I read, do crossword puzzles, play scrabble, etc. to try to keep myself mentally sharp. I wish there was a med to help with this symptom.
