okay, guess I'm next up to bat!

I'm SPMS, and not on any DMDs, just attempting healthy living, and taking things easy and slow.

spent the morning trying to put my house back together after guests... changing bed linens, and straightening up.

then I met with my contractor, and marked all the spots for the grab bars (two in the shower, on each side of the tiled bench, and one on each side of the bidet and toilet)

while going about to feed the guinea pigs, rabbits, and ducks, I noticed my left leg's still dragging a bit... and if I stand still, I start to feel like The Leaning Tower of Pisa!

oddly enough, besides the leg-drag, the numbness, the fatigue, and the double vision, the MS isn't my main issue at the moment... it's my neck and back aching, and a low-grade headache.

see, after 20 years of this, I can usually handle most of the fun stuff MS throws at me, but when back pain is added to the mix... yikes!

trying to be cheerful and friendly, and keep stuff running on a farm, well, I guess I'm just a bit FRAYED around the edges!
