My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 112822

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  


Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas.  Today is Monday, November 28 and it’s going to be a sunny day in Dallas, Texas with a high of 66 degrees. 


No Birthdays on my calendar today.


Good Morning and Happy Holidays, Possums and Happy Monday.     Time to kick off another work week.  While I may not be actually working right now or going into an office, I am certainly not sitting around eating bon bons and watching Hallmark Christmas movies.


I am taking this time seriously to understand what’s happening in my body and get things in order so that I can return to work in January, get my MS under control and get the help I need to live day to day independently.  There have been a few bumps in the road which have caused a few set-backs, but that’s OK and to be expected.    


Lots of things to get taken care of before I leave for SC (for most of December);  Plasma Exchange, Botox, MRI, and an appointment with my neurologist to discuss the MRI results and next steps.    I am hopeful that the chemotherapy has done it’s job and put out the fire (inflammation) in my brain and spinal cord.  They have been lit up like a Christmas tree for a year or so.


Also, I will find out which treatment / drug I will be taking next:  I know that it is an anti-organ transplant rejection medication (even though I have no new organs) but at this point they (the team of neurologists) are looking for a treatment to keep my immune system in-check.  I am looking forward to some new side-effects.  Chemo is so 2015 - LOL.


So - moving forward - focus on getting stable physically and controlling my MS, get back to work and enjoy this holiday season with my family, extended family, and incredible circle of friends-who-are-family.  Thanksgiving may have come and gone, but I am thankful every single day for the opportunities I have and the people in my life.   


And by the by - what’s up with hiring an assistant?  My first choice has ghosted me.  I offered her the job and she disappeared.  At this point, the starting date won’t be until the first of the year.  That’s OK.  So we will not start the new year off together - whoever the person is - LOL - a new adventure in 2023!


OK - enough about me and my multiple sclerosis trials and tribulations.  What’s on Your schedule today?


Anyhoozle, I wish you and everyone around you a SPECTACULAR  day.  Do everything today with kindness in your heart.  The world is full of kind people.  If you can’t find one, be one!  Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.  -AJ
