Hi Rob in N.J., It's a very personal decision. Your commute is quite a deterrent and certainly a source of frustration. Would you feel the same way if you worked close to home?
I am retired and now only work on Tuesdays and Saturdays, close by thank Goodness. Not that long ago, I could work all week but gradually as time progresses, I noticed that by the time I get home, my feet hurt and I can hardly move. I long to just go to bed regardless of what time it is, read, watch TV and fall asleep. I'm even exhausted the next day. I know that I am not improving. I tell myself that if I don't improve, at least I want to do all I can to not get worse. I exercise hard and I keep working. Sometimes I wonder how much longer I will be capable of working at all, will it be time to quit? I don't share that with anyone but you. When asked how I am (they see me dragging my left foot, my cane, my walker), I smile and say "fine" or "hanging in there", or rarely " just a little tired, but I'm okay". No one in interested in hearing anything else. I think it's best to take it one day at a time. I for one am not ready to give up. It's great that you have access to Dr. Kerr and will have a neurologist nearby that he recommends. Let us know the result of the MRI and what follows. Sending good wishes your way. R
