They took every last remnant of the things my Mom held precious!
Oh how awful!  Replacing credit cards is easy enough but the items that have a personal value can not be replaced. 
My son said he hoped the bad guy cut his finger on the broken glass...silly boy!
I'm glad you got a good report from your Neuro. It's always a good feeling to know that things are going well....as well as can be expected anyway 
The best part was she didn't say I needed any more testing...Yeah!!
I was so worried she was going to request a LP because that seems to be one of the things doctors go on.
I was prepared to ask her what the point was since I am already dx'd and on Avonex.
Try not to let it bother you that some of the clients at the clinic are in wheelchairs. Not everyone needs to use a chair. Lots of us have had MS for many years, 31yrs for me, and I've only recently started using a cane. I have some MSers friends in wheelchairs, and I just wanted to assure you that the ones I know still are able to live fulfilling and happy lives, albeit with asistance now. |
It is difficult when you see what MS can do. The youth minister I had when I was in high school has a very aggressive form of MS. He went from functioning ok to total care in a matter of 10 years.
The problem was they did not find the MS soon enough to treat it. I am not sure how much it would have mattered. He has many lesions in his brain and spine. He never really had any relapse.
It is a difficult situation. Difficult for me because I used to baby sit for his children and just recently his wife called to see if I would go sit with him while she went to the store. She does not know I was recently dx'd.
I was out when she called and my voice mail got the message. I never did call her back. I want too but now I wonder WHAT would I say. I will see her again some day. I think I just need more time.
But I know of several other people in my community who have MS and function just fine considering.
