Sept 14-21 .... what's on your calendar?
Kickboxing and body sculpting are my highlights this week.... what do all of you have going on?
For all of you newbies - we have this weekly ritual of sharing our appts., meetings or any other items we want the community to take note of for the coming week. So this is your chance to share if you wish and it doesn't necessarily have to be MS related.
So what's up everyone???

PCP Thursday AM; routine follow-up, & gripe about the .... management at my day job, snooping. Seeing neuro #4 next week for the second time. (Good thing I proofread; I originally typed "neuro 34"!)
Selling a car tomorrow night, so I can finish paying for the new one before that check comes back with unfriendly persons attached.
Also meeting Thursday PM at the church with a couple at whose wedding I'm officiating on the 26th.
Our invitations went out this week. Nancy's son -- soon to be my stepson -- and I have had some more positive interactions, discussing everything from golf to his English homework, and shopping together for an item or two, routine. Her newest grandson, the one after whose birth everybody called me "Grandpa," is in the hospital tonight. They expect to do some kind of procedure tomorrow that will open up the end of his esophagus and allow food to more easily enter his stomach.
Peace & blessings.

Lots of things going on this week for all. I particularly like the kick-boxing stuff. That sounds fun, as well as the singing. I used to be a Sweet Adeline, I do have a goal to get back into at some point. Was so enjoyable.
Today, I was fit for my AFO, "should" be in on Thursday. Had football tonight, again.
Hubby bday tomorrow, he took the day off...we are supposed to have a "date day". I am not holding my breath, he already is filling it with other things to do.
Work Wednesday.
PT Thursday and off to get my AFO, I decided to put vanity aside for now, and have high hopes of the AFO helping me.
I am supposed to start IV steroids also Thursday, but am thinking of passing on it. Truly dont want to risk any more health issues in the year 2009, and am so afraid of a ulcer from the steroids. May wait until 2010 and if still needed, do it then.
Still suffering from my sense of doom most days, but easing up just a bit.
Waiting for shared solutions to call tomorrow to give me the cost of Copaxone and set up the nurse.
Have a good week all,
Michelle

hbananas, I love acapella groups - the human voice is an amazing instrument.
Kathy - have fun in Vegas and good luck!
FDMH - you'll have to give us an update when you're done with the neuro.
Any one else ? Or is this a quiet week?

Trying to get rid of this sinus infection that's been draining into my lungs to clear up without having to go to the doctor, using nasal irrigation, drinking lots of water, getting rest, eating healthy food, etc.
Finishing up my paperwork for my annual foodstamp/medical assistance review; has to be in by tomorrow (Tuesday the 15th). They will probably extend that, as long as it's all done before the 30th.
Saturday, I'm flying away to Las Vegas for a week and a day.
DJ, I'm with Lulu! Also, I'll keep you and Cheri in my prayers.

My MS Clinic appt is Wed! Finally. I'm going by myself and looking forward to it. I'll keep you posted. I
Nothing medical or neurological that I know of. I am, however auditioning with my quartet Monday and Tuesday evenings in front of the two Sweet Adelines choruses of which we are members. We must have their blessings in order to be able to represent them in public, and we're debuting on a chorus show, ohmigosh, next Saturday!
For any of you who might not have heard of the organization, we are women who sing a capella four-part harmony, barbershop style. But we do all kinds of music--my chorus has "I've Got the Music In Me" in our current repertoire. We just spent a weekend of intense rehearsal preparing to compete at the international convention next month.

DJ- you don't dare put off that pump any longer - you are flirting with disaster and you know Cheri would not want you to wait any more either.
Charley - it does get easier, but I won't lie. The fact that you have MS is now your new daily companion and won't go away. It just settles into a quiet corner of the brain sometimes.
Heather - I sure hope now is the time to get answers.... you deserve them
Pat - I'm with you... work, work, work.... being aresponsible adult at times is not fun.

Hey did any of you Notice that "Our Lulu is now taking up Kick Boxing" Girl!,. You Rock...
I am so proud of you and how you deal with what ever life throws at you...I know you well enough to know you are careful so I am not going to get all discombobulated, like I do some times when you tell me what you are going to do..
See I am still learning ;-)
I am keeping my appointment with Dr.Dahi and getting the pump refilled and figuring out when to get the surgery done. I might have to put it on hold, because they are finally Questioning my Daughter Cheri's CT scan of her Breast, she has only been seeing these Doctors since Dec last year about the lump. now there are two of them. To say I am Scared, doesn't began to express how I am feeling...
I told Cheri, we'll wait until we know what is going on with her, than I will schedule the pump surgery...I can only deal with "One Thing at a Time"..
Tomorrow is my Mom's 85Th Birthday ;-), and all of my sisters are here ;-( , but I'll save this for another day... I just want my Mom to have a Great time while they are here...
I hope all of you have a feel good week and that this will be a good month for all of us

I am still reeling from all of the diagnosis and new meds that I've had over the last few months. I don't really know what to do with it all. At least the appointments have slowed down and it's a relief to not have any for a few weeks.
My plan is to help my husband, who has the week off, work in the vegetable garden and not get too overwhelmed by it all. Our plan is to freeze as much as we can over the next months and to give the rest away to friends and food banks. Last year I was able to be in the garden a lot and it was really good therapy. This year I've been in the garden about 6 times. Such is life, Charley.

I'm nine days from my new neuro appt and FREAKING OUT! My symptoms have multiplied and many days are much worse than they were prior. I have, however, slept well without any pharmisutical assistance a couple of nights. The tingling/numbness in my leg is almost constant and the fatigue is out of control. Brain Fog, loss of words, mixing of words. I feel like a fruitcake. But I just plug along. I really don't know what I will do if this Neuro tells me it's nothing or blames headaches. You all may be on a serious depression watch if that happens.
I do have a friend that is coming with me. She has had a couple of strokes this year so she is familiar with the neurological stuff, which makes me feel a little better. And I certainly don't think that she will be judgemental, which is a huge fear of mine. So that's positive.
Cross your fingers.
