Besides DJ moving on Friday, what else is happening this week?

[Lulu54]

Yes, you read that correctly.  Shadowsister's airplane flight is scheduled for this coming Friday to wisk her out of California.  Her apartment in Pennsylvania is waiting for her and the moving truck should arrive this week with all of her household goods.  Last week they removed the drain line from her surgery, took out half the stitches, and were moving her into a step-down unit room.  All of that is excellent news.

Now what does everyone else have planned this week?  If you are new, this is your chance to inform us of upcoming appointments, luncheon dates, or anything else of interest that you wish to share.

I hope it is a great week for everyone!

wishing you well,
Lulu

DV - the foot is probably a combination of both the MS and the peripheral neuropathy.  My EMG showed both going on.  That said - since the needle work helped bring me relief, it must have been the PN bothering me more.  At least as I understand it....  -L

Great news about DJ!!! Woohoo!!!

I'm not sure what my week will bring. Hopefully a new laptop! Mine hasn't been charging for the last week or so, we bought a new cord and new battery, still no luck. But, if it was plugged in it was fine. Well, yesterday the battery went down to 0% and it would shut off whenever it came unplugged. This morning it came unplugged, courtesy of my 11 month old LOL, and after I plugged it in it refused to turn back on! After he got home my husband by some miracle got it turned back on, and now I'm furiously uploading all my pictures from the last 6 months off my computer and on to an online photo hosting site (DH will burn them onto CD's at a later point)

I'm hoping that DH can find a refurbished laptop for me. I hate to spend the money, but I guess I will consider it a Mothers Day and birthday gift.

I'm also trying to figure out if I should or can get in to see my doctor. He said to get in to see him, no appointment needed, if I have any symptoms flare up. This evening the slight vertigo feels like it is starting up again. But, my DH's aunt might be released from the hospital tomorrow (she had a stroke 2 months ago, and about 10 days ago went into the hospital with pneumonia and then her kidneys were not working and she needed dialysis) Until the beginning of May, when a home health aide will be available, I watch her during the day while DH's cousin works, so if she gets out tomorrow I'm not sure if I can get in to see my doctor. I would have 3 kids 5 and under, and a 84 year old who has lost her short term memory. I just can't see myself being able to do that.
