Strangest Thing

[Guest guest]

I've always had my good and my bad days. Normally I use my

cane...except for at work. I'm a reding leader and trying to become

an assistant principal. Although I've never lied to anyone who cared

to ask, I don't like to flaunt my illness at work. I know it's

unfounded but I'm afraid of people not taking me serious as an AP if

they think I can't handle it. Therefore, I don't use my cane at work.

Today I had the strangest thing happen. I was squating in front of

my principal's desk trying to fix something on her computer and when

I stood up, my right foot (the foot that has not had the tendon

transfer) just didn't want to work. I was wishing I had my cane. To

make matters worse, several teachers were calling me across the room

and some students were there. I really didn't want to fall in front

of these people. So I carefully dragged my foot behind me while

holding on the wall to get across the room.

My foot was like in a numb state but not really. I had absolutely no

control over it. It was like I couldn't pick it all the way. Have

any of you ever experienced this? It was really strange. I wonder if

I should expect this to happen again.
