My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 040723

Hellooooooooooooooo, Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums! 

 Today is Friday, April 7, 2023.  It’s going to be a mostly cloudy with a high of 65.

Good Morning, Possums, from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere Condominiums on Turtle Creek in Dallas, Texas and Happy Good Friday.  Easter is upon.  Jesus is crucified and rises from the dead and ascends to heaven all for the forgiveness of our sins.  (There’s a little more to the story than that).

Now, I will be the first one to admit, I do not have the healthiest of relationships with God, but I do have one.  My time is split 50/50 – 50% of the time yelling at him, and 50% of the time thanking him for all of the wonderful people in my life.

One thing about MS (for me), is I always have to look for (or create) a silver lining for the situation – kind of a Pollyanna with the mouth of a sailor.  So recently, in one of my yelling sessions, I stopped asking God “why me” and decided to turn it around and ask him, “Why not me?”  Mind you, I don’t really care for the multiple sclerosis, but maybe I’m here to show other people that you can still live a good, no, GREAT life with MS.  (Plus, I have a kick-ass parking spot for LIFE).  Why not me to raise over $36,000 over the last three years to find a cure for MS?

So the next time you ask him “why me”, turn it around and ask him “why not me.”  The answer may surprise you.

Given everything I just told you, I also need to tell you that I am a believer.  I believe Jesus Christ died so that we all may be forgiven.  And as a Christian, I really have to…..because this whole weekend is what we, as Christians, really hang our hats on!  LOL

I survived my five rounds of PLEX (plasma exchange) and while it was painless, my body is exhausted.  I have an appointment with my neurologist Monday morning to discuss next steps.

I want to THANK EVERYONE who has donated to my MSWALK fundraiser.  In three weeks, $9805 has been raised - 98% of my goal and a week left. 

I only need $195 to reach my goal.  Help me crush my $10,000 goal - we need a cure.  I don’t wish this on anyone.

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.

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 just sucks.  I kicked the fundraising off with a $500 donation.  Gotta walk that walk and talk that talk.

Anyhoozle, I hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend?

Whatever, your day holds and whatever your plans may be, I wish you all 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! 

To all of my fellow MS Warriors, keep fighting the good fight. And to all MS Warrior Supporters, Thank You!   Your support means everything.

Peace, Love and Blessings to you all.
