annieagain's Journal

Good afternoon all!  I am continuing to feel great, and remaining very active getting around alot all on my own!  I even got on the floor yesterday as a choice not because I fell!  I was picking up the trash on my bedroom floor and to exercise, I was able to get up all on my own which was really cool.  Steph came into the room and asked if I had fell when I said no she asked how did I get there? Told her the same way she does, I felt so good being able to do so.  I am feeling so much better overall my back still bothers me some but tha is not MS just bad back.  Even have been taking a shower now without the chair or using the handrails and driving all over all of the time.  I have recovered from having a young boy here for a long weekend but now the next door neighbor is watching her nephew and cousin they are so sweet to have around and so polite! 

I got a letter from Gary yesterday and I broke down and cried again, it is so hard to be away from him he had another court date today.  He does sound apologetic and concernrd about his futrure again talking about getting an MBA or being a counselor after attnedin Purdue!  I just want to be there with him now he knows and stated he has to fix the mess he has made himself.  I am taking this as a good sign. 

I went to idiot neurologist this morning!  Yeegads!  I do not think he even knew me not remembered how my condition has been.  He looked at walker and thought I was declining stating I have not been using a walker since I have been coming in to see him.  I told him no I was not but was using a wheel chair to make it up to his office and that I was actually improving!  He wanted to have me start on the chemo therapy stuff.  He actually told me a few months ago I was in remission and the last relapse was not really MS related but thyroid related and that I did not need the chemo now at all.  He was so confused and he made all easier for me as well.  I was telling him I wanted a px for a quad cane and was wanting to change neuros!    He mentioned a name I was considering and I shook his hand and told him good luck with his retirement!  I walked out of his office and left the hospital hopefully for the last time!

I am the happiest I have been in ages now!  I have met the most wonderful man and I am looking forward to our life together, we have so much in common and want to share so much!  I am exercising  daily and the amount I can do just keeps getting better!  I am determined to find a job and once I begin working to start writing again. 

Next time I will fill you in on Gary's court date and update the adventures of the mom of a teenage hormonal tornado.  Today she did announce to me " I know why I have been so grouchy lately!  It started again!"   I asked her how do  I know that before she does? 

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
