On-going troubles

On the Saturday I walked down the road to the nearest GP surgery. Walking was strange. I was struggling to walk in a straight line, and I was still tired despite plenty of sleep. I was disappointed to discover that my local GP surgery no longer opened at all on a Saturday as it had 18 months previously. Later I went shopping, and kept bumping into people where it was crowded. Carrying the shopping seemed harder than usual too.
I put the dishwasher on, a little clumsily perhaps. "Surely it must be a virus?"

On the Sunday, I fell sideways to the right when I tried to kneel down to fill the washing machine. There was no way I could have put the dishwasher on. I was walking into walls, doorways, everything. I was bashing everything with my hand, my knee, my foot... I was getting quite an array of bruises on my right hip and hand and down my thigh and calf.

Symptoms:

• worsening co-ordination of right side
• tiredness

I was getting more scared. This didn't seem like a virus, or a bacterial infection. I began to search the web, looking for problems with walking. WhatI found seemed to confirm that this was indeed scary.
