My Life with Multiple Sclerosis 072023

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, 

Possuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuums!  


Coming to you from the Celebrity Suite of the Wyndemere Condominiums at Turtle Creek.  Today is Thursday, July 20.  It is going to be a partly cloudy day with a chilly high temperature of 102 degrees.

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Thursday. Also, Happy Friday Eve.  Just hang on one more day and the weekend will be here.


It’s been a very busy week.  I am still waiting to hear from my PCP about my bloodwork.  There is never anything unusual about it so I am not expecting new developments in that area.


My Neurologist called yesterday evening as well.  She went over my MRI and was pleased that there are NO NEW LESIONS.  The (new) meds I started in December seem to be doing the trick (for the most part).  The dizzy spells and difficulty speaking I had over the last few weeks has also disappeared just as quickly as it started.  Unfortunately, I have to remain on those hateful steroids for the time being.  But I kind of knew that was going to be the case.


So far this week:


I have checked the SSA.org website and I am finally entered as a case.  They are a whopping 11% through my case and expect to be through in 9 months.  


Time to call my attorney!


New Wheelchair Update - Still In Insurance Hell.  However, the wheelchair company called yesterday to verify that I was getting a new chair.  For some reason, they thought I was modifying the current deathtrap I use.


Time to call my physical therapist.


In Kankle News - I have one normal foot and one puffy foot.  It’s a kankle by the end of the day, but I get to enjoy it as a foot for a few hours every morning.


Time to call my bartender.  I need a cocktail (and leave the bottle).


Good News this week:  I have selected the podcast equipment I want to use.  Today, I will place the order.  It’s kind of exciting.  The first few episodes should be available 01/24 so stay tuned.  I need to get with my cohosts and get everything scheduled.  This will NOT be Disney-rated…just say’in.


I have started making progress in the December trip to NYC:  A little Rocketttes, a little Broadway, a little NYC at the holidays, a little time with Judy Kuhn and a little quality time with my friends - ain’t nothing wrong with that!


Anyhoozle, the weekend is almost here!  I hope you all have a wonderful day.  What are your plans? 


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.  -AJ
