I really do have another word to add to my personal lexicon: spasticity. This morning I got out of bed and my legs, especially the right one, wouldn't do as they they were told.
As I moved round the bed, my right leg gave way and for an annoying moment, I thought that I might need to summon help. So, for the first time since it was installed, I am now wearing my little red button round my neck for real.
I don't think that I will need it, but it's there if I do.
It's really annoying, because I know the consequences; my mother will insist on me staying with her for a while and my independence goes out of the window.
Bugger, bugger and thrice bugger.
