Hi Sally, great to see ya! My spasticity has now passed from the stage of seriously annoying to dangerous. I have to be really careful when I transfer; if I land on the edge of whatever I'm transfering to the stretch thing will slide me right off to the floor. This is now serious do-do, since these days when I fall, whoever helps me up has to lift me from the floor. I'm about two weeks away from getting a lift in my bathroom. After I have that, I'll get more serious about getting a Baclofen pump.

I've been dragging my heels about the pump. It's not just the high yuk factor involved in getting one, though I feel an overwhelming sense of ickiness whenever I think of it. It's also that I need the spasticity, since it's the only thing getting me to my feet, which I need to be able to do in the bathroom. I'm hoping the lift will help me out with that. Then I'll just have to bite the big one about the pump.

Ian's right about MS. It sucks!
