My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 063022

Good Morning, Possums, from the Celebrity Suite of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. Today is Thursday, June 30. It’s going to be a sunny day in Big D with a high of 97 degrees.

Happy Birthday to:

Jesse Baker
Karen Meister
March Maher

Happy Friday Eve. Just today and tomorrow and it’s a three-day weekend. Ain’t nothing wrong with that. There’s going to be fireworks displays/shows all over town all weekend as well as BBQs/cookouts, picnics and the two most awful and scary words in the english language…………..pool party!

I did not get to do any final prep for NYC yesterday. I was beat after work. Perhaps my lunch break today will lend itself to some list-making and planning. Who am I kidding? It will probably have to wait until the weekend.

I am as nervous about this trip as I am excited. It’s my first vacation in three years. I know my friends will watch out for me, but I don’t want watching out for me to be a focal point of the trip. There may be a few dear friends (you know who you are - hell, I know who you are) that would like to push me into heavy traffic, but for the most part I feel safe with them all. LOL

Most nights (all but one) will be spent in a theater and the daylight hours remain mostly unplanned. I’m not sure how I feel about that. It makes me nervous. I do love a schedule and a plan but maybe I don’t need one this time. Perhaps the theater plans are enough and the days can be spontaneous. I know - forgive me - I am thinking out loud - but this just hit me. Deep down I know a schedule is just a way to have control, but let’s stick a pin in that for now. I have a long day at work and I haven't had my coffee yet. We’ll crack that open later when we have time. LOL

On the MS front, my neuropathy has remained mostly at bay since the first round of chemo - with the exception every few days. It will slap me in the face as a reminder it’s still around, just not as overwhelming as it usually is. However, my walking is getting worse. I am hopeful this will turn around. ALWAYS BE HOPEFUL!

Over the next 12 days, I have several procedures and treatments scheduled. The hospital has become my second home. How did that happen?

Anyhoozle, just a few meetings on my calendar today and lots of work in between each one. I’m working for the weekend. What’s on your schedule today?

I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR day. Do everything today with kindness in your heart. The world is full of nice people. If you can’t find one, be one!

Peace, Love and Blessings to you all. -AJ
