My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 120422

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. Today is Sunday, December 4. It’s going to be a cloudy day with a high of 57 degrees.

Happy Birthday to:

Kathy Vichakchon DiFrancesco

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Sunday. It’s so nice to feel my face and my head again. Yes, I had a trip to the Boardroom yesterday and my head and face were shaved within an inch of my life, It was FABULOUS! Having Covid, a flu shot, the Covid booster, Covid Booster fallout, Chemo and chemo fallout, I had not been in for a haircut or shave. The look I was going for (and believe I achieved) was Disheveled, Disabled and Delightful.

November 2022 was NOT my finest hour/month!

Mom and I have been making lists and checking them more than twice. I have two new people to interview for my assistant position as well - start date January 2023.

On the MS front, my speech is beginning to deter somewhat. I find that I need to speak slower in order to get everything said properly. I love to sing as well - always have - but that’s not much of an option for me either at this point. Don’t get me wrong, I do not plan on going silent anytime soon. And it is currenltly NOT much of an issue. But things are changing.

In eight hours, I will be cloaked in a delightful hospital gown adorned with who-knows-what, a needle in my arm ready to pump me full of dye at a moments notice and I will be slowly entering the belly of the beast - the MRI - the Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine. While there, I will spend two and a half fun-filled hours having my brain, cervical spine and spinal cord committed to film. Don’t worry, I haven’t sold the rights to Netflix or any other streaming service yet. Hopefully, I will be three sheets to the wind and remember none of it - fingers-crossed.

Monday afternoon, I should find out whether or not I have to have one more round of chemo or not. But that all depends on the results of my pre-Holiday vacation to the world of the MRI machine. Don’t be fooled. We (people) only say the MRI is a horrible experience because we don’t want to share. We are really enjoying cocktails and hanging with Hollywood's A-List (NOT the Kardashians).

I know - it’s a jam-packed exciting day for me and you’re pretty jealous. I get it. It’s OK. If you like, you may take my place! But I promise not to let this sudden onslaught of fame and notoriety change me into someone different. It’s not who I am. LMAO - OK, I’ll stop!

So - what do you have planned 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
