Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!
Today is Thursday, March 16, 2023. It’s going to be a cloudy / rainy day in Dallas with a high of 74.
Happy Birthday to:

Good Morning, Possums, from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas. It’s Friday eve. We have (nearly) completed another week successfully and entered the last half the month of March. A quarter of 2023 is nearly gone. Time is a tricky thing and travels at the speed of light…unless you’re sitting in traffic and have to pee or you are stuck in and MRI for hours and hours and hours…so I’ve been told.
Yesterday, I had occupational therapy and it was very humbling. The majority of the time was spent picking up these tiny little pins and sticking them in these holes on a wounded tablet about the size of a cheese board. I had to alternate hands.
Sounds easy enough if I had normal hands but I don’t. My hands sensory perception (?) is off. It’s gotten a little better but I don’t always know when I am touching something. For instance, I may be picking up a pencil off of the floor but when I reach down to get it, I cannot tell if I have it in my hands or not.
Opening mail, forget it. Touching paper at all, no way. For some reason, my nerves that have been damaged by multiple sclerosis translate that as discomfort, sometimes pain. Touching anything like my computer keyboard, a television remote, my computer keyboard, my computer mouse, my iPhone - sorry! My nerves damaged nerves translate that as discomfort, sometimes pain as well.
Imagine living with that every day! It’s not easy or fun but I have to power through.
I wanted to share that so you know what a day in the life of someone with Multiple Sclerosis is like. That’s how it is for me. I am not looking for sympathy or pity, but I am asking for your support to help find a cure for MS.
I hope I can count on your support again this year to help find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis and sponsor me in the WalkMS. Click the link provided below to make your online donation. If your company matches, please indicate that as well.
If you are uncomfortable donating online and would like to send a check, please text me or send me a note through Facebook Messenger and I will send you my mailing address.
Once again, thank you for your support. Let’s eradicate Multiple Sclerosis, if not for any other reason than it sucks. I have kicked the fundraising off with a $500 donation.
