Thanks everyone! I am feeling a bit better today -- less coughing. And my voice is about 75% better. Now I get to see my opthamologist on Monday regarding eye pain and floaters.

Went out with some friends for lunch. I am going to see "Definitely, Maybe "tomorrow. I have not been to a movie in awhile. Has anyone seen it? I also got "Real women have Curves" from Netflix today so I will probably watch it sometime this weekend.

My good news: I feel like I am walking a little better. It has been gradual. I rarely use my cane at home and have been leaving it in my car when I do not have to do alot of walking. My gait is still not entirely normal, but I think there has been an improvement. So I am looking forward to ty #4 next Wednesday even with all of the recent warnings and my problems with my 2nd infusion. I do plan on asking about periodic bloodwork. It has not been part of the protocl with ty in the past.

Sandy, Mom's can be really stubborn. My mom who is 79 just called to tell me she has shingles on her face. It has been bothering her for about a week, but would not go to the doctors until today. She lives in Ohio and I often feel guilty that I do not live closer to her. I also worry about her driving. I have 2 brothers and 2 sisters and we all started depositing 150.00 each per month to her account in order to help her out a few months ago. She basically has been living on her social security and savings which is running out. I hope your mom is feeling better soon. My point in this long ramble is that maybe your siblings could share the financial responsibility.

Sorry for the long ramble; I guess I am feeling chatty today I really need to get serious about my research project starting on Monday. Can I blame my procrastination on MS?
