Got 11 hours of sleep. Feel very loagy and unsteady. Tinitus is really bad. Frontal headache. Back pain evident again. Took 2 Excedrin Migrane first thing this morning.

 

This morning was the last of the oral steroids (yea!). I've got an active day planned, but it probably includes some rest to get ready for next week. Only 3 weeks left to my 2 custom programming deadlines. One is about half there, the other is no where near the finish. Should be interesting

Heavy work, 11.9 hours. Orientation and shaking problems, got better as the day went on. Since I was on site with a client, I made sure I moved slowly and deliberately. Finished the on-site around noon, home around 1. Very tired, but very satisfied. Slight back and neck pain started, the neck probably due to stress. But I was in euphoria of actually putting in what I thought to be an "acceptable" week of 50 hours. If you follow the "set number of beers" philosophy of Multiple Sclerosis, my weekend is going to be trashed. At this point, I don't care. I need to keep pushing as I'm up against it with 3 clients. Either I can pull the load, or it'll break me..... neurology consult next Friday.....

 

Updating this a day late because of the installation at the client. Basically, I was in "overdrive" mode, with almost 12 hour in. I under scoped the amount of data I had to comb for the database import. Got all the PN's in, but didn't have the BOM loaded or the portable tested. When I got there, he had a single Window's laptop, and 2 macs running XP in the Fusion emulator. Hoo boy. I thought I was going to lose the account. Amazingly, everything installed, and as I played it for the client, he was happy. End of the day felt victorious....heard from another client who wants some mods on something I did 4 years ago. He's running it every month and it runs like a champ. Gives me reason to contact the Hobbitzes again.

Missed the entry yesterday, was incredibly busy trying to get things stabilized with the 3 projects I'm working. Good production, almost 10 hours. Toward the end of the day my uppper back became sore, and I got the "head full" feeling. Some problems with spatial orientation and mild vertigo. A second or 2 or disorientation, then back to normal.

 

This morning I'm back to the classic moderate hand shaking, mild fatigue, upper back pain, and full head/tinitus/ears full stuff. Got a full day prepping for tomorrow's installation with additions to the distributable as time and energy is available. So, I'll be pushing hard. Maybe I overdid it - shoveling snow yesterday, shoveling / walking on Tuesday. Good nights sleep last night. I'll take it easy physically today, with a rest in mid-afternoon if required.

 

Worried about the 9th through the 16 of Feb. Out of state site visit and the charity job heavy system use.
