Ok so tonight was my night to use my left leg. The first problem is this leg has been bugging me lately, the second was my husband was out and not coming back until after 9pm. I was sitting here posting on my computer when i reached down to feel my left thigh and it felt sore, sort of like the feeling you get two days after you take a shot in the muscle. Upon inspecting my leg there were no bruises but the area was tender, and i knew that this would be a bad place to take this shot. I posted on my other web site asking some of the vetraen Avonex users to offer some advise. I was so blessed by the responses i received.
I think about what I would have done if i never found that other site i am on and met these great people who have become like a life support for me during a time when i am just learning to crawl, and hopefully walk then run through this race against this MonSter . I was given just the right answers and was reassured of my choice in using the same leg i used last week. I am grateful to these wonderful people who share so much of there trials and victory's with others. Its funny you have your family, they love you and you get wonderful support from them, but then there comes a time when you need to hear from people who have been dealing with all this as well, and then you find that support comes from strangers, and the fact that we share this wonderful illness brings us closer than what a stranger really is.
My husband came home and he was very kind to me about tonight, he was didn't rush me or make me feel bad. We played our little game of me crying and telling him I don't want to do this and tonight he looked at me and said come on wasn't last week shot fun and exciting, so I smiled I said nope, he said did you want to do this last week I said no, so he smiled and said ok well then the faster we do it the faster its done. and in went the shot, it bled a bit, but it was done, i climbed into his lap and cried and thanked him for being so good with me about this.
Shot #31 gone and over and support comes from all places even in the arms of a stranger sometimes. so Thanks to all the strangers who offer their kind words and ears when i need it Thank God for them
until next week
Be Blessed
