Seizure

Sat, 10/19/2019 - 20:51
I found it hard to even get up this morning when I finally managed I fell up against the wall. I got to the bathroom but I did end up losing control of my bladder. :( Incontinence great. My legs have been heavy all day, and my arms sore. Maybe I am not on enough meds or all the right ones.
