I know I have a lot to learn about this new dx, but I feel the same way I did about this as I did when I was first dx'd with MS.

I am not going to obsess over it, I can't. I have a very sick Mother right now who is in the hospital and I need to support my sister.

Thanks for the tip about the ice, but I figured that one out all by myself! (Well, Shappy aka Shelley helped me just a tad with that one!) Heat helps wonders. I bought myself a lavender and flax wrap blanket for Christmas that I have been practically living in when I go to bed. It not only smells good but the heat is great. I think I've worn out my heating pad. I picked up some of those microwave gel packs last week and rotate them. They are great!

The PT assistant tried to put an ice pack on my shoulder today after the ultrasound tx and I said no.

I am looking forward to my trip to Seattle on Wednesday for the Trade Show. I know the flight will be a bit awkward but I can handle it. Afterall, I travelled with a broken ankle, I think I can do this!

I see I have some research to do before I see my MS neuro on March 6. Not sure what info she has been receiving from all this, but I think she's a bit in the dark! Could be an interesting visit with her!

Take care everyone!
