Well had all those tests done. MRI of Brain and neck was the same as the one I had in Feb. The T spine did show arthritis. EEG was normal and never heard anything back about the blood tests.
My nephew David made it through surgery and now has the feeding tube in his stomach. He actually has two feeding ports one in his stomach and one in his intestine. He has stomach problems so they put a port into the intestine just in case he was unable to use the one in the stomach. He is doing much better now and has gained some of his strength back. Thanks to all of those of kept him in their prayers again.
Its back to Knoxville on Friday for more tests on me. I have to have another MRI, Brain, C-spine and t-spine. Plus blood work, EEG, EKG etc. I really don't want to go and have tests done again. It probably won't show anything new. My eyes are doing a little better. The chronic blinking thing has eased off some. The spasms has eased up a little. Tremors might have increased a little. I think it could have been a relapse or flare up. Darn MS thing is so unpredictable.
I wish these journals had a spell check on them. My spelling is so bad.
I got out and mowed my yard today with a riding mower. Got to hot and it gave me a headache.
I bought a wireless network router and now I can take my lap top out on the porch or anywhere in the house without being connected to a cable. I like it a lot just wish my laptop battery would last longer. I might buy another battery so I can swap them out. Maybe if I can get some extra money saved up.
Mom's last day at work was Friday. She is now officially retired at age 70. She woke up this morning early just like she had to go to work. She woke me up because she was outside putting seven dust on the tomato plants and my dogs was barking at her. "She got a call from her old employer wanting her to work part time. That made her feel a little better and she just might go back part time. She can make it on her Social Security but it will be hard to pay all the insurances such as homeowners, car and part B and D medicare premiums. I wish we had a bunch of money so she could retire and be able to do the things she wants to. If anyone deserves that it would be her. She has had a hard life.

David is still in the hospital. He has pnuemonia and is on oxygen. His kidneys are still not working good. We thought he was getting better but then he gets pnuemonia. He hasn't had any seizures which is good. Last time he had surgery he had a really bad seizure and stop breathing for a while. But he hasn't had one this time so far.

Good luck with all the tests! Wow, that's alot! I know what you mean about the spelling, Mine's horrible. It will be nice that you can bring your laptop around with you. You can enjoy the outdoors and the internet at the same time! Congrats to your mom about retirement!! Stinks that she has to keep working part time. You're right, when you get to a certain age you should be able to stop and enjoy the rest of your life. Stinks.
