This last Saturday was particularly bad. Right after getting up, Gord came over and we went down to the Park Crest for brunch. That was fine and afterwards Gord brought me home and went his merry way. Irene had gone out and bought some newspapers so I sat down and spent an hour or so reading Friday and Saturday's sun. Afterward I got up, came into my office and replied to some e-mails. I then went downstairs and spent a couple of hours watching TV. Around five Irene called me and said dinner was ready and there was a hockey game. Irene and I watch the games together in the main floor family room. The TV there is a plasma and better for hockey. It was a great game, going into overtime. LA ended up winning. After the game Calvin came over and I ended up talking to him for about and hour. So, all in all I was sitting most of the day [as usual] and sitting in the family room from about 5 to 9:30. I was ready to make my way upstairs and I couldn't get up. Luckily Calvin was still here. He helped me to my feet, essentially lifting me up. I could stand, but I couldn't make it up the stairs, and I really had to pee. I couldn't really walk [more of a shuffle when I can do it] so Calvin leaned me against the wall and went and got my office chair. He sat me down then wheeled me into the bathroom. I don't know how he did it, but he managed to get my pants down and me seated on the toilet. Man that was a good pee. Getting me up off the toilet back into my office chair was a struggle, but he did it. He wheeled me back to the stairs going up to the bedrooms. Calvin and Irene had to help me up the stairs. They got me to bed and I was there for the duration. Except half way though the night I had to pee an Irene had to help me to the toilet.
I don't know what happened, but bam, all of a sudden I had no strength.
Sunday I got up around 10:00 and managed to go take a pee, brush my teeth and wash my face unassisted. I made it to the stairs but couldn't make it down standing. I half fell sat down and slid on my bum all the way down, which is ok, I've done that before. Poor Irene. She is concerned and wants to help me, but I'm a little too big and she's a little too small. I slid all the way down but just did not have the strength to stand at the bottom. Irene and I together couldn't get me up, but fortunately Val and Mihn were coming over. When they got here Minh lifted me up like a rag doll. They eventually left and I was able to move around, essentially going from chair to chair.
I don't know what caused this sudden weakness but it really has me worried. This is clearly signs of things to come.
