Been in bed all day without a hangover

Once upon a time New Year's day in bed meant only one thing, hangover! But now I suffer from Multiple Sclerosis a day in bed is not uncommon. My body gets tired and I don't mean yawn type tired I mean exhausted type tired! When people say that MS causes fatigue they are describing me an exhaustion it not just running round the park tiredness I am full on complete knackered exhausted! I got up this !morning with every intention of going out to our daughters this afternoon!
Heather pushed me through to the bathroom sitting in the shower chair and I shaved showered and everything else  and headed back to my bedroom.
Heather hoisted me out of the shower chair and laid me back into my bed! At that moment out daughter and grandson rung the doorbell!  Their visit involved bacon rolls so I was left laying on the bed so I caught a few Z's. I was awoken by my grandson calling up the stairs "Grandad do you want tea or coffee" I opted for tea and let it go cold because I went back to sleep!
 Heather threw another cover over me and went for her own shower! When she had finished and was dressed she came in to get me dressed and ready for going out! Me on the other hand couldn't move! My legs are hard to move normally but this morning I couldn't move them FULLSTOP.
I couldn't reach the side rails on the bed to roll over! I was unable to move! Normally my body behaving like this is the sign I have a urine infection! My catheter was changed two weeks ago and my pee is straw colour so no obvious signs of infection! To cut a long story short I stayed in bed and am still there! Heather came home I have had cups of tea a bowl of porridge and honey, that was hard to eat because my head wouldn't raise so I had a rare old time trying to avoid wearing porridge!
The time is now 1:15 am and I have just turned the telly off Match of the Day has finished, Liverpool are playing tomorrow or later today if you get what I mean! My body is moving my legs are sort of bending and now I have to try and get some sleep 😴 My body needs more sleep? No but it won't complain I just hope I don't lay here all night  🌙 ! Happy New Year everyone! The year has changed but my MS is still the same! 👍
