On the way to the ER tonight...
Something scary is happening with the right side of my body. Earlier today, my right foot was numb from mid foot through some of my toes. I also had weakness and could not lift my toes. When I attempted to walk, I couldn't lift my foot.
In the last couple of hours, my right arm has become weak. I have numbness and weakness in my hand and fingers too. My arm feels very heavy.
I'm freaking out. Not waiting around for it to continue to spread or get worse.
I'll update when I can.

Cate, maybe it's something pressing on a nerve on the right side and nothing more. I hope whatever it is, it's an easy fix. Keeping everything crossed for you.

Cate, hoping everything is fine and that it is a pinched nerve only. Do you have spinal mets? I am so glad you were smart to go to ER right away before your condition worsen. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs Dawn.
