I'm ba-a-a-a-ck!
Had an ever so long and lovely vacation. Spent most of it on an island with many screaming children and their sometimes screaming parents. Saw most of my nieces and nephews and grand nieces and nephews and godsons and a younger brother who I resisted fighting with (even though he was an ***!)

I am stiff and sore from too much activity. I swam and climbed and ate and drank too much. It wasn't easy moving 30+ people back and forth with all their assorted gear!

We installed a new sink, finally gave up on the 100 year old cast iron antique that no longer can be repaired. I found a giant used 2 bowl stainless steel sink for $20.00 and it was fitted and installed in a day! Who knew that a stupid sink could make so many young dishwashers so happy!

I came out of hiding long enough to have my 42nd infusion on 08/12. As usual, no problems, no concerns! Still waiting for my results from the JCV test. Sadly, the 50%+= rate is not proving out at my neuro's office. Everyone who has been tested through his office so far has come back positive for JC exposure. I've got my fingers crossed that I will be his first negative!

I did my annual walk, talk, mini mental, etc. and he is still insisting that I at least TRY Ampyra (4-ap) He thinks I may benefit from it since I continue to have spasticity and stiffness (it was very visible when he saw me because I was on vacation and having too much fun!) so I am signed on. He says we will know in two weeks whether it is working for me. I haven't started yet. I wanted to wait until I was done with vacation and for some reason they have to investigate my insurance benefits? I'm going to try it for one month. I hate adding more meds to the regimen but if it works, better living through chemistry!

Hope everyone's doing well! It's back to work for me and I didn't want to get out of my car and go inside the first night back!
