Tuesday September 22nd

Almost a month since I have entered anything. A lot has changed, and yet it seems as if everything is the same. We have been back to Huntsville, and seen our Internal Medicine Dr. in the last 3 weeks. He is not able to process information if you ask questions too fast. It frustrates him. If we are driving, he has to close his eyes because the road is coming at him too fast. These are changes within the last 10 days. He is shuffling his feet and leaning more on the walker. The neuropathy is in his thighs. He woke up one night telling me that he had spilled ice water in the bed; his pants were dry. The muscle pain is moving up his back. I'm glad that we are 5 days from going to Birmingham. I faxed Dr. Rinker a letter today in hopes that he would have the background information before we got there. Hopefully, he will take the time to read it and will pay attention to what is going on. We do not plan on leaving Birmingham without a diagnosis.
