My Liffe with Multiple Sclerosis 022025

HELLO, POSSUUUUUUUUUUUUMS!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas. Today is Thursday, February 20, 2025. Happy Friday Eve. It’s been a bone-chilling couple of days and this morning is no different. It’s -4 (windchill).

I’m looking forward to the 60’s and 70’s all next week.

Busy day today - scheduling some theater tickets and some concerts, a trip or two, but mostly scheduling and getting my rides to and from all of my appointments for the next three weeks (yes, like two take care off all that in advance). It all starts tomorrow with PLEX. However, plasma exchange (PLEX) is a vacation compared to what’s coming. No worries, I can take it. I just have to focus beyond that particular treatment and visualize the martini waiting for me afterwards.

My fundraising is going well. Over the last four years I have raised (with your assistance and support):

$44,375.82 for a cure for Multiple Sclerosis.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY, POSSUMS!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas. Today is Friday, February 14, 2025.  It’s going to be a partly sunny day with a high of 50 degrees.

I’m sending all kinds of VALENTINE’S DAY LOVE to each and every one of you - not just today but every day.  Can you believe it? January is gone (thank goodness) and February is half way over?  I’m not mad about that either.

I have had two full weeks of nothing medical.  That in itself has been a bit of a vacation.  Although without that, there are days I sort of feel like I don’t know what to do with my time. I know - it’s strange, but it’s true.

We have had a bit of a cold weather snap here and that has played havoc on my legs but I still get where I need to be.  The temperature is going to be up and down for the next week or so but that’s to be expected around here this time of year.

I am looking for some Valentine’s Day love in the form of sponsorship.I have kicked off my 2025 Fundraising for the National Multiple Sclerosis Walk for a Cure (Saturday, April 5).

Six years ago (February 6, 2019 at 2:30pm - a date/time I will not forget) my life changed forever.  Things started happening to me - to my body - I had no control over.  Tingling, numbness, muscle spasms, blurred vision just to name a few. I was in and out of the hospital over the next several years.  And if not for my amazing parents, family, friends, my doctor(s) and lots of prayer, I don’t know where I would be.

I am finally back to my baseline (I think).  I feel better than I have in a very long time.  I may be stuck in a wheelchair but that does not mean I get to slack off.  I don’t wish MS on anyone so I have to do my part in raising awareness of the disease and raising funds to find a cure.

If you can find it in your heart on this Valentine’s Day to support/sponsor me in the 2025 MS Walk for a cure, I would be eternally grateful.  Click the link below to make your donation.  If you are uncomfortable making your donation online, you can mail a check to me (made out to MS Dallas Walk).  Message me for my mailing address.

Please consider helping me this year.  Let’s end MS forever!

Good Morning, Possums!

It's that time of year. Not Valentine's Day and nothing big like Arbor Day (LOL). It's time to sponsor someone in the Dallas MS Walk for a cure.

Do you know someone with MS? Of course you do....ME! It is not fun at all like the broshure says (just kidding). There are good days, but there are days where I am miserable. And while I am still pure joy and sunshine 24/7, MS Still Sucks! I'm (and a few million other folks) fighting the good fight. But we all need your help to end MS for good.

Please consider making a donation and sponsoring me in the 2025 Dallas MS WALK. Make your donation by clicking the link below. If your are not comfortable making a donation online, message me privately and you may send your donation to me and I will get to the foundation.

Thank you in advance for your sponsorship and have a blessed day.

Hellooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,
Possums!

Coming to you from the Celebrity Suites of the Wyndemere at Turtle Creek Condominiums in Dallas, Texas. Today is Monday, February 3, 2025. It’s going to be a sunny day with a high of 82 degrees.

No Birthdays on my calendar today.

Good Morning, Possums and Happy Monday. We are kicking off a new week and a new month. Between me and you, I am glad January is over. Other than the fact some wonderful people/friends of mine were born in the first month of the year, it is the slowest month (my opinion). Other than the five days I spent in NYC in the middle of January, I thought it would never end.

January was full of blood work (and repeated blood work), thyroid tests, MRI’s, medical appointments, plasma exchange ad nauseam. My arms are still purple from being poked and prodded and having blood drawn or or plasma exchanged.

Having an escape in the middle of January was SMART! New York City was just what the doctor ordered. It was cold but also nice. We had a beautiful snow our last full day in the city. I caught up with old friends and we saw three amazing shows: Oh, Mary, Death Becomes Her and Gypsy. All will be reviewed on our podcast. So please tune in.

February brings its own specials days, events and projects: Valentine’s Day, President’s Day (Holiday) and one project near and dear to me; it is time to kick off my 2025 Fundraising for the National Multiple Sclerosis Walk for a Cure (Saturday, April 5).

Six years ago (February 6, 2019 at 2:30pm -not a date I will forget) my life changed forever. Things started happening to me - to my body - I had no control over. Tingling, numbness, muscle spasms, blurred vision just to name a few. I was in and out of the hospital over the next several years. And if not for my amazing parents, family, friends, my doctor(s) and lots of prayer, I don’t know where I would be.

I am finally back to my baseline (I think). I feel better than I have in a very long time. But that does not mean I get to slack off. I don’t wish MS on anyone so I have to do my part in raising awareness of the disease and raising funds to find a cure.

Today, I am kicking off my fundraising drive to find a cure for MS. You can support me by clicking the link below and making your donation. If you are uncomfortable making your donation online, you can mail a check to me (made out to MS Dallas Walk). Message me for my mailing address.

I have already received my first donation for $1200 - a nice kick things off. Please consider helping me this year. Let’s end MS forever!
