I can't walk

You are reading http://livinginthehood.blogspot.com

20 minutes ago, I walked about 20 feet, to warm some coffee in my microwave.

I sat to drink it, but found I was concentrating most on the pain and weakeness of having walked.

I've been in bed since, and still haven't recovered. My legs feel two feet thick. They're hot and feel very heavy.

I'm having trouble holding my head up. My neck muscles are very weak, and the pain between my shoulders is hideous.

My balance is poor. I had to hug the wall to make it back in here.

My arms, fingers and wrists are so weak and tender, I'm having trouble typing.
