(Writing About) The Slow Erosion of the Self

Still walking!

A lot seems to have happened without much actually happening. The results of the neuropsychological tests I previously described were not shocking. I am actually quite bright (no laughing at the back) and my memory is good, which is a surprise. These are compromised by poor concentration and, more fundamentally, mental processing speed, the latter being the base of all things cognitive. I will remember something or make an inspired decision. It will just be two days late. Part of it is the personal erosion that comes with living with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

Results, Pyramids and a Pause for Thought

Third draft of this post. Chucked out the first two, surprisingly hard work.
Should've been simple: just the results of some neuropsychological tests. Turns out nothing about MS is ever quite that simple.
Wrote about what the results actually mean day to day, and some thoughts on where things go from here.
