Chapter 20: What A Day!
Nov. 16th 2018
So today, I wake up mute. I was also still experiencing a light to mild cognitive fog. I started crying because it had been over 36 hours since this particular episode had started. I haven’t experienced one this long since my initial illness in August 2017. I was afraid something had shifted in my brain and this was now permanent. It’s now 12 hours later and while I’m not mute I’m still having cognitive and speech issues. The few brief periods I’ve not I’ve had a nice migraine headache.
Calling my neurologist wouldn’t do any good because they absolutely refuse to see me until Nov. 28th which is my next regular appointment. I called into work for the second day in a row. My wife and I decided to go to the Social Security office since I suddenly had a free day. We had a nice three hour wait. We were then told we had to schedule an appointment to do anything of any consequence. The lady’s computer is down. So she will mail us an appointment time.
