Am getting neuropathy complications that goes along with the diabetes from that MRSA infection when I stepped on the nail.

Effecting feet, legs, hands, thinking, balance, ability to hold bodily functions.

At first it was my feet and the ability to rock my foot sideways to heel and toe. Now have to really pay attention when driving an automatic to actualy hit the gas, or keep my foot on the brake stopped. Also have stopped walking pepper becuase it is too easy to trip or lose my balance and fall. It feels like I am wearing tight leather knee socks whether I am or not.

My hands now feel like my skin is a leather glove. They feel cold and at night feel like pins and needles. Also not able to touch type, have to look at the keys and still use the delete key A LOT. Also losing dexterity, can't cross fingers or make the vulcan sign with my right hand. This has been amplified by having to use the PC with more typing and clicking and dragging to do the same tasks with the same programs as on the Mac.

Noticed am having trouble thinking of words. The drugs doc gave me for the neuropathy have a side effect of short term memory loss.

Notice I grab thinga to keep from falling over when doing things around the house when standing up. Sometimes feel like I am falling over backwards but haven't actually fallen yet.

The reason I work from home is to be close to the facilities, but still not able to make it at least a couple times a week and have to change clothes, take a shower, and do a load of laundry. Really do NOT want to have to start wearing diapers. If go someplace like to have lunch with Glen, or a meeting or something at work, take some Imodium so will not have an embarrassing incident.

If I hadn't been going to that retinal speciallist I would also be blind.

Oh yeah, getting tinnitus too.
