I clammed up during my CE & am scared I blew it
I had 2 CE's, mental & physical. Mental was in mid Nov & lasted about 2 hours. I was anxious but I think I conveyed my condition appropriately though I'm not sure how I did on the formal memory test. Had my physical CE this week & I was feeling lousy from the frigid weather & the fact that my husband was unable to take me due to his job. When the doctor would ask me questions, I sincerely had a difficult time processing some of them & my answers were short & led him to ask follow up questions. During the physical part, he often had me stop doing a particular movement as he said he wasn't trying to hurt me any more than I was. It took a bit to describe my job loss situation, but once I started, I was able to present what my job entailed & why I lost it fairly well, I think. I may just be freaking out bc this is pretty much the end of my initial phase (unless my Examiner wants to wait for a couple follow up appointments I have this month), but I'm nervous my being so quiet during my CE was not good for my case.
