As soon as I'm done checking my email, I'm shutting the computer down and throwing a blanket over my desk.

I just got a laptop a couple of weeks ago (my dad handed down his MacBook Pro) so, I can take that upstairs and have a computer to play with if I want to do stuff that I can't do with an iPad while they're working on things today.

I have an appointment next week with the orthotic people to make the left leg AFO. Actually not looking forward to that, because now I'm going to look like the bionic woman or something. Oh well. It's not any different than having to wear glasses. It's something to help things. But, having to wear at least 3pounds of metal on both legs (apiece...and yes, I did weigh my AFO once) is probably going to be annoying in the summertime.

But, the old AFO probably has a broken spring or two in it, so it needs to be fixed.

That doctor yesterday was really kind of cool. The old one had never suggested any medications to me. The new one said that he's given 4-Aminopyridine to MS patients, and spinal cord injury patients, and it's helped a few of them. It doesn't cure them or anything, but he said that for a few of them, the MS patients, it's given some help to them for some things.

I can't remember where I read some stuff about Ampyra. I think someone here on the forum mentioned that they'd been taking Ampyra and that it was helping them some. So, I know that Ampyra or the 4-Aminopyridine might be helpful in some way. I'm kind of willing to try it. My fear of side effects is not as big as my annoyance at the walking issues I've had lately.
