I had the most perfect day and it ended with me in the emergency room. My day was filled with training clients, teaching a Pilates class, going for a beautiful run along the Charles River, taking some self care time afterwards to foam roll, I went home and played with my dog, and finished up back at the gym making plans for my clients. At 7pm when I stood up from my desk I had no feeling in my right leg and my ankle buckled underneath my weight. I tried to shake it off. I used the chair and desk to brace myself and regain my balance but the feeling in my leg didn't return. I figured out how to carefully walk with the numbness and got to my car and drove home. By 10pm I started losing the feeling in my left leg too. I went to bed anyways but at midnight my dog woke me up and I was losing feeling in my groin, lower abdomen, hands and forearms. My dog, Bodhi, was wide awake and alert. It was so out of character and I could tell something wasn't right in...
